Canon's way of "forcing" us to upgrade to the latest gear...

I am using a 5d2 and I heard that the 600ex-rt's do not work with the 5d2 (sync speed).

Hmm. I think I will just be continuing to use the 580exii with the Gary Fong system (maybe get another 580exii and a set of rf transmitters) until I get a 5d3. Then probably go with the 600's.

Hey guys,

I currently have a 580exii, and I was originally planning on getting a set of pocket wizards, but then I looked at the new Canon 600EX-RT's... and now I don't know what to do. I want the availability of off-camera flash(es) because I am recently getting into wedding photography (used to be mostly landscape photographer).

In my scenario, would going with the 600's be cheaper/better for the long run?
two 600ex-rt's + transmitter (sell the 580exii)

or pick up another 580exii and some pocketwizards?

Thanks,
Kevin
