New Canon Flash This Fall? [CR2]

(1/4) > >>

Canon Rumors:
A new radio ready flash
A new flash is in the works to replace the Speedlite 430EX II and could come as early as this fall. The new flash will be ready to work with the ST-E3-RT transmitter. The current 430 would be discontinued like the 580 was. No word if we’ll see a flash smaller than the 430 replacement with RT capabilities. I personally don’t think we’ll see the 3xx series updated to RT. cr

RLPhoto:
This would destroy Nikon if the price is right. Around 350$ a pop would be a sweet spot.

Thanks, I needed a good laugh this morning.   :P  I'm guessing Canon will maintain the ~$200 gap between the top and second-place flashes, and we'll see a price over $400.  Hope not, sure...but not holding my breath.

KenBPhotos:
Why does it only mention working with the ST-E3? Is the 600EX-RT assumed or is there something I'm missing?

unfocused:
I still can't believe Canon hasn't produced a receiver for the previous generation of strobes. Are you supposed to just throw away any 580s you have? I don't think so.

At least they did make the new model compatible with the existing battery pack. I suppose we should be thankful for small favors.
