Canon 580ex II Review

Strengths: Fast High Power Flash (strobist) PC Port

Weakness: Heavier than 430ex Expensive

This Canon 580ex II is a great flash for wedding photographers, which I am. It has fast cycling times and 4 NiMH batteries last very long with the unit. It has weather sealing and holds the omni diffuser tightly due to the rubberized weather sealing enclosure. Great flash but a little pricey.

580EXII

Strengths: Great flash! Fast. Long battery lifetime. Exposure control.

Weakness: Expensive

Big but feels ruggidly built. Great addition to SLR camera. The pictures look totally different with this flash as compared to those with builtin flash. Very powerful with a lot of controls. Highly recommend.

Powerful Flash for Powerful Camera

Strengths: Very Bright... Fast charge... Longer battery life... TTL..

Weakness: Hard to bounce high ceiling.. Kind of big... too bright for close shot..

Canon made a great flash that charges very fast...
Also, TTL works very good with other TTL Flashes...
This is one of most powerful flash from Canon...
I like it...
