I have a D70s and am considering the Nikon SB-600 Speedlight since the
camera will fire the remote speedlight. I will need rechargeable
batteries and a charger. What type of battery or charger would you
recommend?
get nimh batteries, and possibly eneloops if you don't use the flash
that often and don't want to worry about self-discharge of the
batteries. for a charger, the maha 9000 is fairly slick, but probably
overkill for most people.
I can really recommend the Maha MH-C204W charger and any decent NiMH
AA batteries. It's small, light, fits easily in even a small camera
bag, charges 2 or 4 AA quickly, fully and safely. It's the best
travel AA NiMH charger, really a great comprimise between size/weight
and charging speed and works on international AC with just different
plug adapters. And if you're using it for SB-600 batteries like I do,
you probably also have a Nikon battery charger which takes the same
power cord as the MH-C204W. That cuts down even more what you have to
carry in a small camera bag even though it means you can't charge the
camera battery and flash batteries at the same time. But if traveling
light, it's a plus. It can do reconditioning and revive old batteries
too. And it's fairly cheap. I got one for under $30 on ebay. I know
I sound like a commercial, but I really like this charger as much as
someone can like a charger.
