Editorial Reviews:

Further development of Canon's flagship Speedlite has led to the production of the 580 EX II. This is the premier Speedlite for all photographers, including professionals. Newly designed to match with the EOS-1D Mark III in terms of improved dust- and water-resistance, body strength, and the ability to control flash functions and settings from the camera menu (EOS-1D Mark III only). Other features include improved communication reliability through its direct contacts, and recycling time is both 20% shorter than the 580EX and is completely inaudible.

Conclusion: Buy this good flash first before thinking of investing in any lense


Review: This can be had for as low as 350 USD.

After buying, play around with the curtain sync settings, bounce, and diffusers. You'll immediately see payoff in your investment, through quality pictures.

This is really indispensible at indoor shooting.

I also see improvements in battery and recharge time compared with make I of this 580 model.

You cant go wrong with this investment.

Conclusion: flash great!- Shipping packaging stinks!


Review: The flash appears to be everything advertised. I was surprised that it seems to have survived the poor packing in it's shipping box! Who ever packaged it is used to shipping books not electronics! Large box with two air pillow bladders, one deflated left all sorts of room for the product to rattle around!

Conclusion: Makes me look good


Review: I got the Canon 580EX II Speedlite on the recommendation of a friend's father. I was looking at the 420 (because it was cheaper)but he told me to go with the best. I did, and I love it. My pictures shine. I'm a newbie, so I'm still getting used to it. But when I'm out doing my thing, I look more like a professional photographer with it than sticking with the in-house flash. I know this is shallow, but I live in L.A. :) Once I really learn how to use it, I know I'm gonna be doubly happy I got it. You can't go wrong getting the best. This is the best.

Conclusion: Great flash!


Review: Love my new flash. I haven't used it as much as I would like, but so far I am loving all the things about it. Especially after using a 380EX all these years! Love the way it swivels to bounce etc., and it's quick response time...very nice!
