    I realize that the Nikon SB-800 has a few extra features and power than
    the SB-600. I want to use the flash with the Nikon D70. The Nikon SB-800 came
    out before the D70 and I guess was therefore made with earlier Nikon SLRs in
    mind.
    1) Is there ANY features on the newer, cheaper SB-600 that are not on
    the older and more expensive SB-800? (keeping in mind it would be used on a
    D70).
    2) Is there any argument at all that the SB-600 might be better suited
    for the D70? Thanks.

    I bought the SB 800 (£175) for my D70 as it has a number of extra features
    and more power. it is only very slightly bigger in all dimensions but way
    smaller than my previous zoom,twist and shout f/guns. Check out Nikons web
    page to compare the two for accurate analysis

    Not if the list of features of each in the D70 manual is anything to go
    by. Differences shown there are only features the SB-800 has and the
    SB-600 lacks.
