I had a terrible and expensive thing happen tonight at a photo shoot. One of my SB600 speedlights fell off my tripod about 5 feet to the concrete floor. Needless to say, it doesn’t work anymore. I guess I didn’t get it locked to the plate stand atop the tripod correctly. Now, I sure would like to find another fully functional SB600. However, they have been out of production for some time so they are hard to find. I really liked the SB600. I have searched around the internet and have narrowed my selection to a Nikon SB700, Sigma EF 610 DG Super, or Nissin Di 866 II. I used the 2 SB600s remotely controlled with the on-camera flash of my D80 as the commander. My main requirement is that the replacement works remotely on the same wireless iTTL net as the remaining SB600 since I used the 2 SB600s with umbrella reflectors for portrait photos. There are many of you on UHH that have much much more experience than I do. What are your recommendations?

You can't swing a dead cat without hitting a used SB-600 for sale :)

Thanks to the responders. Taking into consideration the price of used SB600s is more than I paid for either of mine brand new back in 2006, I believe I will add some to the cost and go for the SB700 brand new. You all have a GREAT DAY!

Check Walmart, Best Buy and Fry's; they often carry discontinued models.

i have two of the sb700 models and they fire plenty of light in my small studio area..i am going to try to purchase the sb910 for indoor work as it would be way more powerful for larger areas..and still work along with the sb700..if you are willing to spend the extra bit of money the sb700 would be a better choice than the 600 model in my opinion..
