Sorry for the delay in response. Working on other projects. The short answer is no. Onboard flash can only be triggered by the T3i, 60D and 7D. Older models require another 580EX to be camera mounted (or the speedlite transmitter) to wirelessly trigger other flashes.
Hope that helps. There is link in the Canon site called Flash Classroom that might be of assistance in determining what makes and models are compatible.
I agree with you guys, but have you gotten any reply? I'd like to know the answer to bigbri3159...

Can I use my onboard flash for my Canon Ti2 to trigger my Canon 580ex II as an off camera flash?

I think this was the best thing I found to teach me how to use the new canon 580ex II. Thank you very much for posting all these videos.

What is the difference between the older EX flash and the EX 2? Is it worth the extra $200?
