No, the EX 580 was shown to transmit a jamming signal right at the frequency that Pocket Wizards used. I sent my two EX 580s to another third party for a simple and inexpensive modification which stopped it so I wouldn't have to use Pocket Wizard's EMF socks on them.

Canon clearly knows a lot about third party products.

I did not speak to what Canon might know. I said that when they design their own products the spend no time worrying about how their design decisions might affect third party products. They ignore that. As they should.

So in your mind it was nothing more than a crazy coincidence that Canon's new flash emitted disruptive RF interference that was exactly on top of the frequency of a remote flash controller that thousands of Canon photographers were using.
