If you have 7D, its flash can work as a master.

Or a 60D, or a T3i - those can do wireless control too. But the OP has a 50D.

Eneloops, or any of the other brands of low self discharge rechargable batteries. If they say precharged rechargeables you are on the right track. They perform well and dont die in your bag waiting for you to shoot.

Apr 21, 2011 13:18 | #23 There's an Eneloop starter set on Amazon that's a pretty good deal - 32 bucks for eight AAs, four AAAs, and the charger. I've been VERY pleased with my Eneloops, they cycle fast and last a long time. http://www.avidchick.com
