DI622 or SB600 ?

[amnesia]

Hi all...

Been wanting to get a flashgun for a while now but always found something that I needed more. Anyway, I've had a good bonus from work and have permission from the good lady wife to get one.

I am interested in the following :

Macro
Portraiture
Pets
Product photography

I have narrowed it down to the Nissin 622 mk ii or SB600. I think both will do what I want (at the moment). As I see it, the only real difference is that I can use CLS with multiple guns in the future with the NIKON.

Any thoughts / suggestions gratefully received...

Cheers,
Daniel.

Hi

My view would be to get the nikon SB 600. To ensue consistent exposure.

SB-600 it is... off to John Lewis in the morning - they will match the £199 that Mifsuds are doing it for

Good choice!

If you're spending £200, you'd be better off getting the i866.

Why? Apart from it being more powerful?

What else does it do that the 600 doesnt?

No need to answer... I bought a SB-600 this morning.

A quick play both on and off the camera and I love it. How did I manage so long without one ?

Congrats on your new purchase.

I have a SB 800 which I recently bought sh but need to learn to use in on and off camera.
