Yes
Not for me...but a newish member of our studio group only has a Panasonic Lumix camera. The lights we use are all triggered by RF 603s. She would like to buy her own trigger rather than keep borrowing from everyone else.

Doing a Google seems to indicate that there is a problem using 603 triggers on such a camera. Has anyone ever done this? Rumour has it that maybe a Nikon trigger will work in manual only mode, although some ads seem to indicate that a Canon trigger will work. Which is right?

I'm no expert on Panasonic or Nikon so can someone help and advise please? Is there a 603 to work on a Panasonic Lumix FZ 200 camera?
 
There are soldering tricks, but I'd just get an RF603II as a trigger and be done with it. They are now camera-agnostic, as there's a dedicated switch on them that can set them as transmitter, rather than being a transceiver and having to figure out what to do based on camera hotshoe signals.

Thank you. Are you saying that any 603II trigger - either Canon or Nikon - can be used as a transmitter? Presumably the receivers will receive whatever type they are?
 
The 603ii Trigger will work on any normal hotshoe Camera,can be switched as TX or TX/RX can be either Canon or Nikon version, any 603 can be used as a receiver.
