i can't decide which one to buy.
may you compare their wireless features???
there will some eyes which don't like p-ttl, so i need to use my ebay triggers.
question is which one is more usable with ebay triggers???
can i use them in auto mode with ebay triggers???
many thanks

I'm interested to know too since I'm considering these 2 right now.

Halil, have you looked at Promaster 7500? It seems pretty capable too.
And the price that really attracts me.

yeah, i remember that i had a look but for one reason i erased it from the list.
for me rear-sync, wireless and auto mode is very important. but i will look for promaster again, thanks

They both have equal wireless PTTL capabilities. Auto mode however is better on 58 because it can read ISO and F from camera and does exposure compensation at 1/3 steps, whereas 540 has to be set manually each time ISO or F changes.

many thanks

What are these ebay triggers you speak of? I'm sure they have a name, not just "ebay triggers". In any case, there shouldn't be any difference whatsoever between the two, as they are designed to work with the same system.

1) i am talking about cactus vs2 trigger, but it is known as ebay triggers...
2) i can predict that there should not be any difference but i need more than predictionsssss...
