Hi,
I have a couple of questions about off-camera flash. First from what I have read there are 3 types of "systems". I'm referring to Nikon, since this is what I use. So there's the Commander Mode (D90, D7000, D700, etc...), there is the IR operated trigger (SU-800) and then there is the Wireless Triggers.
I just got myself an SB-600 and I'll be buying a D7000 sooner than later. I'm wondering what the advantages of each are? Commander Mode, people say they see the pre-flash. IR would only be for compatible flashes (SB series, so no "cheapo" flash can be triggered). And well I can't see a negative aspect to the wireless triggers such as Pocket Wizards except the price, although there are alternatives.
I'm looking for your opinion about the best way to set this up. So any positive or negative you found in your present or past setup might help
