Product Description
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.

great product!! November 26, 2008
new to photography
Works great! I love this flash, although still learning how to use it. I certainly don't understand the ins and outs quite yet. This is certainly worth the extra expense in my opinion. I would suggest a diffuser, however.

This item is easy to setup and use. It contributes to outstanding photos. Battery life is enhanced by using rechargable lithium batteries.

Great product. The only thing is I could not get it to trigger my 430ex without it firing too. I followed the manual instructions, but it still kept firing. Overall though, it is a great speedlite.

I've just started using the product, but so far it fully meets my expectations. Good power, nice color balance, and easy to use.

I don't have any problem with this flash, but I do have a problem with Amazon. It said that there is a fifty dollar coupon, so I assumed (incorrectly) that my price would the 370.00 less the coupon for 320.00 Low and behold I found out 370.00 was the price after the coupon. No one is selling this darned flash for 420.00. I wish flakey practices and gimmicks like this would stop. I'm really frustrated.
