Wireless Purchases I have a Canon 30D with 580EX Flash. What I want to be able to do is stand away from the camera & trigger the camera & flash from a wireless remote. Customer Service said for my needs I could use the Adorama Wireless Radio Remote to trigger the camera. Also a Microsync Transmitter/Receiver System to trigger the flash. I'm wondering if I need both, or do I just need the Adorama remote?

If the flash is connected to the camera, either by the hotshoe, or by a sync cable, then you just need to trigger the camera, you don't need to trigger the flash also. Chris Vedros

What if it's not connected by sync cable. Will the Transmitter/Receiver be the connection?

Pam, I have had the wireless and find them somewhat unreliable. I bought these for my 20D and now my D200 and love them! with 16ft of cord I can play with th echildren I am photographing to get that perfect expression. on Ebay: http://cgi.ebay.com/5m-16ft-Remote-Switch-f-Canon-EOS-30D-20D-5D-1D-RS-80N3_W0QQitemZ250148102290QQihZ015QQcategoryZ64345QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem and Jon has told me those cheap triggers for the lights on ebay work well also. I myself bought Litelinks.

Thanks Debbie & Chris for your helpful information. When you say "cheap triggers for the lights on ebay" what words can I use in the ebay search engine to find these? Also, I looked at the Litelinks on the Shutterbug website. Are these similar to the Microsync Transmitter/Receiver System mentioned above?

Pam, I am adding a link to them. I am sorry, but Greg got out of the shower and it was time for our coffee, so I had to cut it short. as for the remote for the camera, I find the corded MUCH more reliable. as for what to search for : Triggers/ radio controllers under cameras. heres a link to one: http://cgi.ebay.com/4-Channel-Radio-Slave-Flash-Trigger-RD604-NEW_W0QQitemZ180145219366QQihZ008QQcategoryZ30086QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem Heres the link to the search it's self http://photography.search.ebay.com/trigger_Lighting-Studio-Equipment_W0QQcatrefZC6QQcoactionZcompareQQcoentrypageZsearchQQcopagenumZ1QQfclZ3QQfromZR2QQfsooZ2QQfsopZ2QQftrtZ1QQftrvZ1QQpqryZtriggersQQsabfmtsZ1QQsacatZ30078QQsaobfmtsZinsifQQsofocusZbs

I was looking at my 580EX & was wondering; how do you connect a receiver to the flash?
