I bought an inexpensive one on E bay most of the time it works but at times in can be very inconsistent I guess for what it cost its about what you would expect. www.Marinelliphotography.com

Check out Yongnou RF602 triggers and receivers.. Very well made and work brilliantly..

Er? They're shutter releases, right? They won't affect E-TTL operation one way or another. If you want radio E-TTL flash control, you're looking at a different and more expensive solution (which may also support remote triggering of your camera as a side benefit). Jon

And you'd need a shutter release cable to go with them (at another $100 or so, PW prices) Jon
