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. 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)

Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - deceptive Amazon promotion
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.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Canon Speedlite 580EX II - The best, period.
Three Canon 580EX II speedlights form the core of my location lighting kit, supplemented by 2 Canon 540EX speedlights. The 580EX II is fast, powerful, easy to use, flexible, built like a tank and is smarter than you and I combined. The 540EX has the same Master/Slave, ETTL and manual circuitry as its newer cousin, about as much power, and sells on Ebay for about $200 or so. The 580EX II is very flexible, very dependable, has a fast recycle time, has twice as much power as a Nikon 800 flash, and the ... Read More

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Small Town Newspaper
I thought long and had about spending this much for a flash unit. This was my second year of doing the local football games and with a start time of 7:30 pm, it didn't take long before there was no daylight to take pictures by. We can't afford big fancy lens, so a good flash was the best answer. I set my camera to 1/200th in the manual mode and boost the ASA to 1600. I get good clear pictures with the unfortunate demon eyes effect in many. I use Photoshop to correct. I love the distance this flash ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - You get what you pay for!!
Can you find a cheaper flash? Yes. Will it be what you needed? Probably not. This flash unit is superior to the rest. Make the investment it is well worth the extra money. I've used three other flash units and now I have two of these that are my exclusive tools.
