That is very cool now they just need to built it into the flashes also.

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!!

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 PW transmitter holding your hotshoe hostage would be awesome.
I hope Canon will eventually wake up and smell the coffee . Otherwise, as Jim said, D-series may become just too much of a gear candy...
Antonio, thanks for the link!

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

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

In fact this was posted on the 1.st April 2003 in Sportsshooter.

Sorry again guys

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.

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