    hi everyone,

    Yes, it is compatible. If you want to trigger off-camera flash-guns you can use one of the STE2 units here http://www.warehouseexpress.com/cate...=3115&brand=37 I use one, and it works very well. It is not cheap, for what it is. But then what is?

    If you want to trigger studio flash lights such as Bowens, Elinchrom etc, then you can choose from a variety of either infra-red or radio signal triggers. They all work on the 50D as far as I know. In fact, your pop-up flash on the 50D (you know, that crappy little light on top) will trigger most studio lights. Just cover the pop-up with something so it doesn't interfere with the studio light levels.
