Sorry if this seems obvious...

You can not use a nikon flash on a canon camera---

but you can use a nikon flash off camera w/ a pocket wizard--- right? Even if you are using a canon camera?

Thanks!!

That's right. You can use any brand of flash you want when tripped by a PW. And you can use a Nikon flash on a Canon camera in A or M (on the flash) mode, providing the flash has those settings. At least I think you can.

Is that just for pocket wizards or will the new "Radiopoppers" be able to do the same?

I am sure it will work on Manual with the new radio poppers too, but I don't know about the TTL, which is the cool thinkg about the radio poppers. Kevin says in the Radio Poppers information that the TTL with the Nikon system isn't 100% at its' best, because of the complicated CLS of the Nikons.
