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.

Other features include improved communication reliability through its direct contacts, and recycling time is both 20% shorter than the 580EX and is completely inaudible. Optional External power supply - compatible with Dust- and water- Resistant External Power Pack, Canon battery pack CP-E3 and Transistor Pack E Unit Dimensions - 3.0 x 5.3 x 4.5 inches /76 x 134 x 114mm; Weight - 13.2 oz./375g, without batteries (4 AA alkaline batteries add 3.5 oz./100g)

Excellent! September 27, 2008
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.
works like a dream September 24, 2008
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!
 Excellent Flash- but get MAHA battery/chagr and a frame September 18, 2008
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.
Canon quality September 7, 2008
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.
Permanent Accessory to my camera! August 29, 2008
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!
