I'm interested in buying a reasonably priced Nikon SB-600 or SB-700 if anybody is planning on selling one.

    If you have the option, get the SB700...it's easier to use...and has the latest in technology...never discount newer technology. I have an SB600 and like the SB800, neither are as user friendly as the newer SB700, SB900, and SB910. Myself, I would only be looking for an SB700.

    And the price difference is minimal. You might have a hard time finding a used SB700, though.

    Just my two cents.
    Remember, no one may want you to take pictures, but they all want to see them.

    Ed, I've been thinking about the same thing. Thanks for your valuable input. I may buy the the SB-700 new unless I can find a used one for a reasonable price.

    Your input surely made my decision easier.

    Thanks for your input. I had looked there, but it makes more sense to buy new because there is such a small difference in price.

    Wow. I just looked at the price of referbed SB600's, SB800's and SB900's...ouch.

    SB600 new from Best Buy...my cost $199.
    SB800...my first one...on sale, $299
    SB900...my first one...on sale, $399

    When the SB900's hit the market, I sold my two SB800's and bought two new SB900's for right around a hundred each out of pocket after selling the SB800's. My wife had just given me my first SB900 ($399) and I liked it so much that I knew I wasn't going back.

    Good luck, maybe you'll find a deal...

    Exactly my thought. It looks like all these units go on sale sometime around October on Amazon. I guess I will end up buying a new SB700 when it goes on sale this year.
