Nikon SB600/900 comparison
First thing noticable is the size difference
Not had much chance the play with it yet but the control are a lot easier to use but more settings available. So here is a quick difference in illumination with both speedlights set the same.
One should be able to see the difference in the two. Where I feel it comes into its own (SB900) is in those dull overcast days which we get a lot of. Another thing I have noticed is the repeat flash, it actually keeps up with the camera, no delay in continuous shooting

I own the SB600 and use flash so sparingly I couldn't justify the additional cost of an SB900. My real love for Nikon speed lites is the off camera use triggered by the on camera built-in flash of my D90. Commander Mode is a wonderful thing.
