fauxtog: Stunning. I have a preorder for the D4 in; and, given my Nikon glass (and a love of Nikon ergonomics), I'll likely keep that preorder in. But this 2-way wireless flash system from Canon had me seriously considering selling it all and going back to Canon, for a 1Dx, ST-E3-RT, and three 600EX-RT's (plus the lens equivalents to replace my Nikon glass).
But, after really realizing I'd need to buy a 1Dx, ST-E3-RT, and three 600EX-RT's (plus the lens equivalents to replace my Nikon glass)--*and* the huge hit I'd take on the sale of my Nikon rig--I came to my senses.
Admittedly, though, I can't stop thinking how amazing it would be to have that setup, as I do a lot of flash photography, and that level of control and functional integration from the ST-E3-RT...again, stunning. Not having to mess with a few different flashes; being able to control them so fully without taking them down from where they're at (or out of what they're in); being able to so quickly experiment with light balance...
hehhe never fear in a year or two nikon would follow :) moving to different brand is costly :). for now you can use radio poppers with a bit setup
