About this product
Product Information
- 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.

Horses for courses
You need to be sure this is what you need. In its hay day this was the top of the line Canon flash. That said it can still hold its own as a high end, high performance flash. Think about how you are going to use it. I bought it as a "master" flash for my EOS1 mkiii so I can use my EZ430ii as a slave. While it will work outdoors, it's best used in a studio environment. If your thinking of attaching the 580EXII to your EOS80 and using it outside for fill in flash, then yes sure it will do the job perfectly but its overkill. In the studio as a master flash controlling groups of slave flash(es) it will come into its own and is where it will perform best. In short, be sure you need one. If most of your work is out side when all you need is a fill-in flash there are cheaper models available and you would not need all the bells and whistles of the 580EXII Read full review

Well worth the extra expense. An amazing product.
Having bought cheaper non-canon alternatives in the past I can say this is an amazing speedlite. I wish I'd just put my hand in my pocket the first time around. The hotshoe attachment is super easy to use and very quick to get it on and off the camera. The recycle time is great, battery life is great, I've had no problems on auto with flash intensity. I've had good results off camera (using an ettl cable). Well worth the extra money. To get the best results I'd recommend buying the Speedliters Handbook. Which explains everything about using it.

Canon 580EX-II, Costly but worth it
This product is all they say it is. I admit I have not yet had time to go through its endless functions yet, but straight out of the box and in ETTL, this Flash does wonders all by itself. Fill in and bounce flash are truly giving my pictures a whole new dimension of color and sharpness. It took me about a month to decide I wouls spend what this flash actually costs. I considered a Vivitar (cheaper plastic?), Metz (supposedly good but not AS good) or a Canon 4380EX-II (limitations on the head's swivel). I am glad I decided to spend on the 580EX-II. No regrets: this is a fantastically well built and professional piece of equipment and I anticipate it will bring me many years of enjoyable photography. Minor comment: this is a bulky flash (as you would expect for this type) so if you're looking for something portable for simple amateur photography, you might want to consider Canon's soon-to-be-released 270EX II. Also, the pouch is good but on the downside, has no hooks or places through which you might pass a lace, belt, strap or alike: no way to easily strap it onto my top-load camera pouch.Read full review

Canon 580EX ii
It's everything everyone says it is...powerful, easy to use and versatile. I've now tested the unit on my G9, G12, 5D, 5D Mark II and am extremely pleased with the results. I've used Fong shaders and PocketWizard Multimax and Plus II with flawless results. The recycle time is good, but I'm looking forward to receiving and testing out my new external battery pack. This is a pro unit all the way. I know there are other systems out there, but it's hard to imagine a better one than this for the vast majority of shots. Highly recommended.

A great flash
A great Flash gun. I now have 3 for multi flash set ups. I have now found somthing Cheaper, not Canon that is compatible, So I might go for one of these. I love the 580EX though. Trouble is so do a lot of other people and thats keeping the price high. The flash has now been superceeded buy two that know of, although the 600EX retails for £600. For the money this is a fantastic flash.

Powerful Flash with Good Flexibility
This flash can operate as a master or slave (used to fire when other flashes fire). It's a powerful flash that provides enough flexibility to reduce the amount of light emitted while the swivel head allows you to change the direction of the bounce light. I wasn't happy with the recovery time between shots and have added an external battery that allows me to fire continuously. Like many flashes for advanced cameras, this isn't a 'point and shoot' style flash and will take some time to figure out how to use its functions to maximum benefit.

Love it
I love the Canon 580exii flash. I'm new to the photography business but I can already tell this was a great investment and that I have the best of the best. It is extremely powerful and has made taking pictures inside incredibly better with my camera. I have a lot more capabilities and more ways to be creative. I am very happy with the purchase and I would definitely recommend this flash to anyone who is serious about digital photography.

Muito bom
Um flash muito bom com uma grande rapidez de recarga o que permite tirar fotos muito rapidamente. Não é muito fácil de manusear por iniciantes, mas também não é nada que uma leitura do seu manual não resolva. È um must have para smeprofissionais ou prós.

Excellent flash unit, highly recommended
Very versatile, packed with features. However, it would have been nice if the batteries for the flash and the camera could be interchanged, or at least if the flash used a rechargable battery pack like the camera. Other than that, it's a very smart and useful flash unit.
