Canon 600D query

[nathfromslg]

Hey,
I would like to know whether the canon 600D supports 3rd party flashes like yongnuo,else. . .
or do I have to buy an adapter to use them,the wireless system only works with canon speedlite flashes?searched over google,didnt find any satisfactory ans

It only works with the Canon Speedlites. Just buy some wireless triggers and you'll be good to go.

Like a transceiver/receiver set.

Thanks for replying, so then the wireless system in canon 600 d is a wastage? or in future will i be able to use it?

I may be wrong, but I was under the impression that the 565ex would work with the wireless ettl. I have a 600d, but never tried to use a yongnuo flash.

I am thinking of getting,can anyone tell me whether I can use any 3rd party lens?

It will work with any speedlite made for canon and canon ETTL there are several who make flashes that work with the canon wireless system.
The only thing with 3rd party flashes is that new camera bodies further down the line may not work 100% with them, they will always work 100% with the canon system

well i know it will work with canon flashes but they are nearly 4x expensive than the 3rd party ones

They are also nearly 4x the quality and capability. That's not to say that I don't have some cheap third party stuff. I do. I also have some GOOD canon flashes that are most definitely better than my cheap stuff.

It will work on camera just fine either in ETTL mode or manual. For off camera work you'll require a trigger and receiver setup. It's not the most powerful flash out there with a GN of 33 as opposed to the Canon 580EX II's 58, 600EX RT's 60 and the 430EX II's 43. So, significantly lower output than even Canon's 430EX II

Canon will only read canon flash. THe other's have to used when using the view finder only, not the digi screen. The only options are what the flash offers.

This is not true. A flash designed to work specifically with Canon's E-TTL will work and read through a Canon camera.
