Both units will be secured in the next couple of weeks. I want to fully

familiarize myself with the basics first before I head into additional
territory. I will assess battery life with the current set-up in field
conditions. I am also going to purchase other options like the AC power
cord
to work with the camera's potential with the computer.


Good plan. The SB800 and 600 flashes are famous for being very capable
and yet quite confusing....to the point that some websites are up to
try and de-mystify them. The manuals are tough going. I have the
SB800...which I suggest because it comes with built in bounce card,
diffusion dome and better coverage.
Anyway...enjoy.
