The best solution for triggering the AB monolights and your 300D is to get an adapter for the hotshoe. That adapter (about $10 US) would allow you to plug in one of the cables from the flash units. The second flash would trigger with the built in slave.
The downside of using the on-camera flash is that, if that is the only way you trigger the AB units, it is always going to be a factor in your shot, and that could very well be detrimental to the lighting setup you are trying to create.
Be aware that ALL of your shots with the studio flash units will require the camera to be in manual (M) mode so that you can manually adjust for the amount of light from the flash units that the camera knows nothing about and cannot control.
I would strongly suggest the B-800 units (and possibly the B-1600) if you are going to be using them for larger (outdoor?) group shots. The B-400's should be more than ample in indoor 'studio' setups using umbrellas no more than, say, 10-15 feet from the subject.
- SPStudio Systems Excalibur 3200 Monolights. DESCRIPTION Max output: 320Ws 100W modeling lamp Stepless power control from 1/8th to full power. I had used the SP Excalibur 1600's in a studio I rented and really liked them. You can't beat the price even if you tried. Similar Products Used: Norman, Canon 220EX, Canon 550EX. OVERALL RATING 5.
- Alien Bees vs. Many people looking to buy their first set of studio strobes look at the Alien Bee or SP-System Excalibur monolights. Having used both, I thought it would be helpful to write up a comparison to help people decode.
