Editorial Reviews:

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.

5 out of 5 stars Excellent!   September 27, 2008
M. Cooper
This flash is an excellent product from Canon. I used it for some wedding photography and the results were amazing! I was able to take photos from across the room with excellent results.


5 out of 5 stars works like a dream   September 24, 2008
J. Calland (Corvallis, OR)
Love it, love it, love it!!!
I don't know much about using a flash, but I read some directions, set it to ETTL and took some photos. The exposure was spot on, and the skin tones were just perfect!!! I'm quite hooked on how well this works with my Canon 10D and highly recommend it to others who need a new flash attachment. This one is slick!



4 out of 5 stars Excellent Flash- but get MAHA battery/chagr and a frame   September 18, 2008
O. Gonzalez (new york, ny)
This is a great flash for the xti. Use it instead of the on board flash, because it will add dimension to you photos.

At parties, or weddings, use it with a frame.

I use maha rechargeable batteries with this flash, and It has not failed to provide great photos.

The only thing that I would improve would be to give it a optical slave response, that way the on board flash can be used to trigger the main flash. Alas, no luck. Glad it has remote cable trigger though, for studio work.

Over all, I am pleased with this flash. When Canon comes out with an update, I'll gather up a few more of the ex2's.

The 580 EX is a great product! Easy to use and gives great results. if you are thinking about getting one, do it! You won't be sorry.


5 out of 5 stars Permanent Accessory to my camera!   August 29, 2008
Kimberly Howard (Baltimore, MD USA)
This flash is incredible! I pair it with a Gary Fong LightSphere & it is the most natural 'artificial light' you could ever wish for without the hassle of studio lighting! You can basically mount it and turn it on, producing wonderful results... But with a little homework to learn the many features available on this flash, you can create wonderful lighting effects! Worth the investment!
