Syl Arena's overview of the 600EX-RT

I came across this video on the B&H YouTube channel and it is an excellent (over 1 hour) overview of the 600EX-RT system by the master of speedlites, Syl Arena. He has another one he did earlier in the year pre-600 that is also good and goes through all the other Canon speedlites.

the new one...

New Frontiers in Lighting with Canon Speedlites by Syl Arena

and the older one...

Getting the Most Out of Canon Speedlites by Syl Arena

Thanks for sharing that! I have his book ("Speedliter's Handbook") and although I LOVE the book, I wished it had info about the 600EX-RT.

If you really want to learn about the 600EX-RTs, he does a workshop called 'Speedliter's Intesive'. I know he had a Texas date for January, but it might be Houston.. dang, nevermind. It was in November.

But yeah, the book came out well before the 600EX-RTs came out. He really is a wealth of information on the new system though - he actually wrote the white papers for Canon Europe for the 600EX-RT..

I attended Syl Arena's Speedliters Intensive in Philadelphia in early December. Well worth it if you are new to the World of Speedliting or someone like me that has invested in the new Canon 600 EX-RT, ST-E3 combination. Very simple approach that makes sense with descriptions, diagrams and tidbits for mastering Speedlites. I highly recommend attending one of Syl's Speedliting seminars.

Does he do them in other locations beides Texas?

thanks for that link. Will definitely be checking it out.

I sat in on his first ever tour before the book was released as he swung through MA - awesome experience - way pre-dated the 600ex's.

Radio triggering.
Easier to use and navigate interface.
Zoom to 200mm instead of 105mm.

That may not sound like much - but in my personal experience since upgrading, it's been well worth it.
