Avg Customer Rating: 
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.

Customer Reviews
Great Canon Flash
Currently the best system flash for my Canon EOS 40D camera. Don't make the same mistake as I did when I bought the less powerful and reduced feature set of the 430EX. The responsiveness and coupling of this flash with the camera cannot be beat. I haven't had so much with creative use of light for a long time.

Speedlite 580EX II
The 580EX II speedlite is the top end external flash for canon and should be.
I purchased it mainly for ettl fill-in flash. Fill-in flash in a bright sunny day is very difficult under any circumstances with any camera or flash unit. The 580EX does a wonderful job and is difficult to see any "overflash".
You do have to read the manual on this one as a thorough knowledge is required to get pleasing results. I am an advance amateur and take nearly all my daytime photographs with the flash on my 5D. Ettl fill-in flash lightens the deep shadows. What would have been a so-so photo, is now more like a professional one.
Note: Not all Canon cameras have the necessary electronics on board to function properly. If your Canon camera is an old one, read up first to see if yours will work the ettl process properly.

Great product
Great flash, very durable. I just wish the recycle time was just a tad faster.

A really good flash, but typical canon shotcomings
I've purchased two of these of units, because I use the second on my second camera for weddings, and I'm also experimenting with using a second flash off the camera, via the infrared wireless, which I think is really cool. I have no complaints whatsoever about the flash itself. Very fast, very quiet, very accurate, great recycle time, and the wireless options are really convenient. However, like all other canon products, it is not designed with "user-friendliness" in mind. If the camera is used in its most basic modes, it's very simple to use. However, if you want to experiment with other modes, things get pretty confusing, and the owner's manual is no help.

Canon Speedlite 580EX II Flash for Canon EOS Digital
Great flash unit! Metal base and mounting lock much better than 580ex. A must for any Canon EOS system. The II is nicer. Good job Canon.
