Reader Question: How to Trigger a Flash Wirelessly on a Canon DSLR
We recently had a question posed to us on our Facebook wall asking us how to set your Canon 60D to trigger wireless flashes like a Canon 550 EX. To do this, we’re going to borrow a bit from our intro to Canon Wireless Flash posting. Since I don’t have a Canon 60D, I’m going to use my 7D and show you how to trigger a 430 EX II (the flash closest in functionality to the 550 EX) wirelessly using infrared control.

The Complete Canon T3i Review

If you’re reading this, you may want to take a look at our list of best budget lenses, our recommended Canon lenses and also the three way duel between the Canon 60D, 7D, and T2i (which will be updated soon).
What’s the Best Method to Autofocus? Center Point or Outer?
One of our readers sent us a question a few days ago and we thought it would be good to respond in a post so the other readers could learn and share their thoughts and experiences.

Field Review: Canon T3i (Day 1)
We’ve had a number of requests for a Canon T3i review, and so it is here! We’ve compared the Canon T2i, 7D and 60D before, and now this little Rebel is looking to shake things up a bit. Before we start, we’re going to ask that you make sure that you purchase the right lens for you, no matter what your budget is. We will further try to discern whether or not this camera is right for you as well.

Field Review: Canon EOS 60D (Day 3)
This close focussing shot shows a strength of smaller sensors in DSLRs - more depth of field for a given aperture. Combined with great high ISO performance, and stabilized lenses, it's easy to get great shots in close. ISO400, 1/160th @ f/10, 85mm.
Take a camera along when you’re out for a walk and there’s a good chance you’ll bring back some pleasing images, especially when the camera is Canon’s EOS 60D equipped with an EF-S15-85mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM zoom.
Canon Announces T3 and T3i: Do You Know Which One You Want?
Just when we thought we made it easier for you, Canon went and announced the Canon T3i and T3 DSLRs, effectively replacing the Canon T2i in almost every way: or did they? Look a little bit closer at these two new cameras and you’ll see that there is a clear difference of who they are targeting. Additionally, it makes the choices between the two Rebels and 60D much easier.
