5 out of 5 stars   Impressive top of the line Canon flash
By pase0 on September 26, 2011

Review submitted for Canon Speedlite 580EX II CANON AUTHORIZED USA DEALER WARRANTY INCLUDED (CN580EXII)
Pros: Durable, Fast Recycling, Versatile, Consistent Output, Powerful Output
Cons: Heavy, Bulky, Expensive
Other Comments: This is the most feature loaded flash made by Canon and is very versatile in use. Very powerful and much improved recycle time vs the original 580 EX. The only negatives of the product are: -The large size and heavy weight. The 580 EX II is heavier than some lower end camera bodies as as long as my 100 mm L 2.8. The camera, lens, flash makes for quite a large unit to carry around. -The lack of a hard dial/switch to control wireless modes as in the 580 EX predecessor. Instead, we have to press the menu options to switch wireless modes which is cumbersome. My unit's LCD display seems bad? There is a small area near the bottom of the display that seems like how damaged LCDs look but it is not enough to cause any serious alarms or affect functionality. I do not have another copy to see if I have a bad unit or if this is attributable to a bad batch? Positives are plenty. This is one feature-rich, powerful flash. The included flash stand is useful for off camera use. I've even had it mounted on a cheap tripod. If you are serious about taking good indoor and even outdoor shots, you need at least one of these. For the casual shooter, you may be better off with the 430 EX II (smaller, lighter, cheaper).

5 out of 5 stars   580EX II speedlight
By Steve on July 08, 2011

Review submitted for Canon Speedlite 580EX II CANON AUTHORIZED USA DEALER WARRANTY INCLUDED (CN580EXII)
Pros: Powerful Output, Durable
Cons:
Other Comments: This is my second 580EX II which I purchased as a backup. My first 580EX II is still working well after 3 years. I just want to be certain that I can continue shooting if one speedlight decides to retire early.

5 out of 5 stars   Buy this one first
By Professor Mad Brad on July 07, 2011
Verified Purchase
Review submitted for Canon Speedlite 580EX II CANON AUTHORIZED USA DEALER WARRANTY INCLUDED (CN580EXII)
Pros: Easy To Use, Versatile, Durable, Fast Recycling, Slave - Master, Consistent Output, Lightweight, Powerful Output
Cons: Pricey
Other Comments: I would give this flash 5 stars if it cost less but it still is the best for my EOS series cameras, I really like the off camera slave and master use. That feature has one drawback and that is it operates by IR and not a radio frequency. meaning it's range is about 30 feet in direct line of sight. I wish I hadn't wasted my time and money on third party flashes because they just don't stand up next to this OEM product.

4 out of 5 stars   Good but could be improved
By R Photo on June 10, 2011
Verified Purchase
Review submitted for Canon Speedlite 580EX II CANON AUTHORIZED USA DEALER WARRANTY INCLUDED (CN580EXII)
Pros: Lightweight, Easy To Use, Powerful Output, Versatile
Cons: Slow Recycling
Other Comments: Good but could be better. Power output is ok for a small speedlight. Versatlile enough to work well both on and off camera. More power would of course be great. Wish the recycle time was faster and the build was a more robust. To improve recycle time, I tried NiZN batteries in one of these and it overheated.

Pros: Versatile, Fast Recycling, Durable, Consistent Output, Easy To Use, Powerful Output
Cons:
Other Comments: I use the speedlight for all indoor and night shots. My next move will be to buy some slave units for experimenting on different effects. I can't believe the unit was as easy to operate as it was and I haven't taken a bad shot with it YET.
