I would like to remotely control my off camera flash with my on camera flash. I am not looking for a separate remote unit like packetwizard. I would like the remote built in the flash itself. Canon has the 600EX-RT with a remote in the flash. You can filly control the off camera flash with the on camera Canon flash. Currently Nikon doesn't have a flash like this however I am wondering whether there is any Chinese made flash unit with features similar to the Canon 600EX-RT.
 
All "Advanced Wireless Lighting" Nikon flashes have wireless remote control integrated (some are slave only - check whether it is a master or slave). As far as I know, all AWL communication is by pre-flash modulation rather than radio, though.

We'll see whether Nikon follows Canon in their switch to radio control - as differences in frequency regulation mean they have to produce several devices, at least for the US, France and the rest of the EU, having radio control integrated in flashes or cameras is not particularly popular among camera makers, and they use other means of remote control, leaving the radio market to third party add-on makers.
