Good question I have the nikon d70s and would like to know the same.
 

I have both the sb-800 and sb-600 and they are great....a little bit of a learning curve, but the manual explains the use very well. You can control the sb-600 from the sb-800 and I use both for group shots at weddings, very nice feature.
 

I also have the SB-600 & I love it. I taught myself how to use it, but I'm still learning more about it everyday. Good luck!!
 

I also use D50 and D80's on a daily basis, and the Sb600 seems to work quite well for almost everything I have shot to date. I am self tought, never looked at the manual (but I never said that was a good idea, lol, but I learned, the hard way, haha)... Anyways, ummm... yeah... I agree with everyone else, its good!!! hehehe
 

I agree that the SB-600 is a nice speedlight...that's what I have. I just wanted to add that one of the nicest features is that Nikon flashes are made to go with the Nikon cameras, so it can read a lot of needed information directly from your camera.

Also, I'd REALLY recommend getting a flash diffuser. These are FANTASTIC for softening the flash and for spreading the light out more evenly throughout a room. There are a couple different styles out there, but, just make sure you get one that's made for the specific speedlight you end up going with. :) You'll LOVE it!

Good luck! :)
 

The SB800 comes with several types of filters/diffusers and a pretty good manual. The ability to control other Nikon speedlights is quite handy as a previous poster mentioned. It's pricey but worth it. Don't forget to adjust your WB. Have fun with either one, but do go with the Nikons.
