The PW transmitter chip for the Sekonic flash meter 358 is only about 1 cm square, and maybe 0.25mm thick - so they should be easy to squirrel away somewhere inside a 1 Series camera - but Canon did not invent them, and I think, sometimes, that is a problem for a large company to admit.


Several Nikon DSLRs have a wireless remote shutter release also - how cool is that! Canon still has only a hard wired remote, which might shake the camera if jerked upon. Not a problem with a wireless remote release.

That D3 is getting more appealing all the time. It is so much more inexpensive than a 1DsMklll also!!:thumb

I love this! I already have a piece of equipment that uses similar approach (maybe even identical hardware by the look of it) - Profoto Compact-R series lights. Not having - let's say it - a bulky :dealPW transmitter holding your hotshoe hostage would be awesome. :clap
I hope Canon will eventually wake up and smell the coffee:deal . Otherwise, as Jim said, D-series may become just too much of a gear candy...:wink
Antonio, thanks for the link! :thumb

Thank you Sir ! :bow
Indeed it's an April fool's joke, which I was not aware of.:dunno

Sorry people. :D
I am happy that there are some people well informed in here.:thumb

In fact this was posted on the 1.st April 2003 in Sportsshooter (http://www.sportsshooter.com/news_story.html?id=913).

Sorry again guys :wink

Darn, they should really offer that ability - it would be appreciated, and, as I said, the chip is smaller than the size of a stamp. I know this is true because I added the chip after the fact to my Sekonic L-358.

I don't like this kind of jokes. I mean the ones from the 1.st April.

Mainly if they get many people involved... and may have ugly consequences like this one I was trapped in.:huh

Maybe the link to the Pocket Wizard site should be erased by themselves because it looks real and it is not :dunno
