Product Details
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.

Much Better than 580EX
Strengths: outstanding battery life fast recycling time excellent TTL comes with hot shoe quick release mount
Weakness: bulkier than 420ex
I would say that this flash is worth every penny, and well worth the price premium compared to the 420EX. It beats it hands down in every single category, has an outstanding battery life, and is completely silent .I am not a professional, just an enthusiast, but I can definitely justify its cost, at my level. In other words, you don't need to pair it to a 5D or a 1D Mark III to notice how much...

580ex II
Strengths: Canon's best
Weakness: n/a
Worth every cent - this flash will give you a better exposure accuracy over other flashes - even if you shot this thing into a reflector (and I like shooting this way) - first time I tried this flash (about 5 month ago) did not believe it's possible - very powerful and recycling is fast, super fast without drop in flash strength - highly - highly recommend!

My first external flash unit - great product!
Strengths: Quick recycling time, flash power, weather sealed...
Weakness: Big/heavy, expensive, there is a learning curve to take nice flash pictures
I am not a pro, but I am an enthusiast and have been using a film SLR since the mid 90's. This is my first external flash unit and I can say that if you have the budget for it - it is worth the purchase. This can make a huge difference in not only indoor photography, but outdoor as well (used as a fill flash). I have pretty "fast" lenses which are capable of doing indoor shots (canon ef-s 17-55...

Excellent Flash
Strengths: faster recycling time, significant better exposures control, outstanding battery life
Weakness: a little bigger and bulkier than the 420EX
I upgraded the flash from Canon 420EX to 580EX for my Canon 5D. This is simply the best flash for wedding and portrait. Compared to the 420EX, the advantages are huge. The recycling time is amazingly fast. The quality of the ETTL exposures is also significantly better. The 580EX is capable of serving as the master in a master/slave relationship with other Canon flashes. Gary Fong's Lightsphere II...

Canon Speedlite 580EX II
Strengths: Canon's best flash for your DSLR!!!
Weakness: A little bit bulky and heavy.
This flash is much better than the built in one from my DSLR. My camera automatically detected this flash and adjusted to the flash without any problems. You might want to get a diffuser as well. It uses 4 AA batteries and comes with a paded case. This flash upgrade is definitely worth it. Highly recommended.
