Review on Canon ST E2 Speedlite Transmitter Speedlites by Joseph Pudic

From the point of view of a serious enthusiast, this is really cool stuff. The price has come down lately (because Canon just released a new wireless transmitter I think) so I bought it. I like it a lot, I don't do much flash photography but now I see the potential for some really creative shots with it. Reliable, compact and lightweight, it works great even when out of range of the remote flash. I don't have a studio setup and I know that a radio transmitter like the Pocket Wizard is more reliable because it uses radio signals that can go further and even through thicker walls. But the advantage of this trigger is that you don't have to use two devices to set it up, it works with your speedlite system right out of the box! You don't need two pocket units (one for the trigger and one for the slave flash) which are more expensive and bulkier/heavier. easy to find. But once you have the battery, it lasts for some shots! I really recommend this item, it works perfectly for me. Unless you have a very large studio or need to shoot outdoors in bright light, this is the perfect companion for your flash!
