Canon Speedlite 580EX II Flash for Canon EOS Digital SLR Cameras 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.
Customer Review: Overall I love it
I have the Canon 420EX, 430EX, 580EX and now the 580EXII, so I have some experience with the Canon line of flash units. =0) Although there are a couple of drawbacks, I almost always choose the EX II over the EX. It does recycle faster, which is a must for wedding photography. (I recommend getting Powerex batteries to keep up with it.) I also like the way it mounts on my camera vs. the other strobes. Other people have said it slips off the shoe, but I’ve never had that happen. In fact, I find the twist-mount on the older models loosen a lot.

Drawbacks: It is a pain to set up the master/slave. I can’t stand having to hold buttons down and/or press them several times to get to the features I want. Also, every so often it will fire a flash or two that overexposes my image even though the settings weren’t changed. I don’t know what’s going on there.

Despite those drawbacks, I have been very happy with this unit.
Customer Review: Miniature sun
Totally impressive - works as a sun replacement for me. A diffuser is strongly suggested for better pictures (I use Stofen). The supplied stand is a bit small for this big flash unit (of course this only applies if you use separate flash transmitter), and can topple easily
