Rectifying that now... I heard about the Speedliters Handbook about 2 months ago, found it on Amazon and had the intention to buy it a few days later (payday). Unfortunately, due to automatic Windows updates, my browser was closed and I forgot about it. I was just in Barnes and Nobles last week and saw the book... I flipped through the pages and it appears to be EXTREMELY detailed in terms of Canon Speedlites functionality, operation, also including on-location shooting. Unfortunately, I had just bought 2 other books and didn't want to add the $49 expense (B&N store price) at the time... so I too will be making this purchase soon I use manual exposure settings on the copy machine

Snafu, if you get the book and are itching to get started, skip to chapter 11. Setting up the master (in your case, the 7D) and slaves, channels, groups, ratios, manual, they're all covered in exquisite detail.
