How easy is it to work with the Canon Speedlights? One of the biggest draw to me going with Nikons was the easy flash setups, especially wireless.
So far it is all i know, they are fairly simple. Couple buttons on the back easy to switch to manual mode and ge rid of the ETTL set up, I noticed if i let the camera decide the power with the 2 flashes, it would over expose, and so i had to just switch them over to manual. i believe i ran them at 1/8 of the power.

I would say that so far learning them, and lighting in general is pretty interesting, it hasn't been overly complicated either. The only time i have had any miss fire is when im running in high speed shoot after about 6 frames on 1/8 power you will either loose one or both strobes as they struggle to keep up. at 1/16 you can go for a while.
