Is the Nikon Speedlight SB-600 Flash compatible with a Canon EOS 30-D Digital SLR camera?
I currently own a Nikon D70s and would like to upgrade to the Canon EOS 30-D, but I’m not sure if my current flash unit (Nikon Speedlight SB-600) will work with a Canon rig.
I love Dr. Sam’s reference to jumping to “the dark side”. And all the info above is correct and notable. If I may, I just want to join the chorus asking, “why?” when you’re currently invested in your Nikon D70s series.
How many Nikon lenses do you own/use and are you willing to replace them with all new optics? Is there a Canon lens that you’re dying to have?
The SB600 is a great flash with it’s iTTL system that is only outdone by it’s sister SB800. What do you use flash for and what more do you want of it?
Here’s a side-by-side comparison of the Canon EOS 30-D and the Nikon D200.

Add the cost of replacing your current flash and lenses, and I think you’ll see that the D200 deserves a closer look. And, with the announcement of the D300, you’ll find the D200′s price being lowered currently.
For another in-depth comparison of the Canon vs. Nikon, read this.

And one more tidbit.

A Canon EOS 30-D is a very nice rig, if you’re starting from scratch. But if you have an investment already in Nikon, think about it carefully.
I hope you find this helpful.
