Today I bought a new flash for my Nikon D70, the Nikon SB-800 Speedlight. Here is a test photo I took just before me and my wife ate the subject for desert! I am really impressed with this flash. I haven’t seen colour like this yet from my D70 indoors.
I haven’t read the SB-800’s manual yet: I just slapped it on and started taking shots of everything in the house. It’s pretty funny when I get a new toy, just like Christmas.

Apparently the Canon 580EX and 430EX can tell the camera the color temperature of the shot, presumably derived from the burn time.
I don’t follow Nikon equipment closely enough to answer this: I wonder if they have done something similar to Canon?
I did not know that Gordon but I’m not surprised. I’ll be diving into the manual shortly and learning all I can about this baby.
