Wonder how much this will cost...the new ST-E3 wont work with 580/430 EX

liupublic · 1st of March 2012 (Thu)

Checked the price on dpreview. $630 for the flash. $470 for the st-e3. Ouch.

Will it master the current flashes? It does not even mention it. I would get one next and the new STE If it will master a 580 or 430. Otherwise I don't see one in my future if I can't use it with what I already have.

You'd think that the new bodies (1Dx, 5D3, ...) would be able to trigger this flash without needing to spend $500 for a radio transmitter.

Hmm.. interesting but a bit expensive for me to be a early adopter.

They also lauched a 600EX with no radio and optical wireless. http://www.canon.co.uk/For%5FHome/Pr...dlite%5F600EX/

Where would they put it? Look how big that transmitter is already. Maybe in the 1DX, but certainly no room in the 5d3.

Holy f that's a lot for a flash

Canon is going nuts with their pricing! And look at that GN of 60, BUT at 200mm. Is that any different from a 580EXii?
I chose the canon system because they were more affordable than Nikon, but it seems not anymore.

Wow that is a lot!!! I just upgraded the flash for my nikon system to the SB-910 flagship keeping the SB-900 and SB-800 for a backup. That was $547.

I can buy a set of pixel kings and 4 yongnuo 565EX's for the price of one of these flashes...

...And would still need to buy a trigger.

It doesn't have a radio transmitter though right? Still line of site.

And this is fully compatible with the old wireless system.

At-least we can maybe expect the price of the 580EX II to drop..

tiler65 · 2nd of March 2012 (Fri)

£679 in the UK for one of these, price gone crazy. It is on camera, what does it trigger? Another 600ex at another £679 ......wow...cheap at half the price.
