hi, everything is underexposed with my sb 600. it flashes but only outputs a tiny amount of light. I have tried using it on two d80's and a d70 but im still having the same problem. It seems to work fine when i remove it from the hotshoe and fire it manually. I've also taken it into my local photographic shop but they hadn't come accross the problem before.

You probably haven't changed the camera and/or flash back to TTL mode from wireless mode. Make sure they are both set to TTL, not commander mode and you should be fine. Note that the LCD on the flash will indicate which mode it is with a little graphic. On the D70 you had to switch between TTL and Commander mode to set it up to work using the built in flash as the commander, so you just have to switch back.
