I am an amateur in the field of digital photography.I bought the speedlite because I found the flash on my Canon 350D was too slow for action shots. I am pleased to say I found the speedlite matched all of the hype in the reviews I read of it. I have had mixed successes in its use. This is no reflection on the speedlite rather it is my pushing and exceeding its boundaries. I look forward in continuing experimenting with it knowing that once I upgrade my camera I may have even more positive results.

Outstanding results! Easy to use, VERY versatile, well made. A definite quality product deserving of the Canon brand name.

Have owned a 550 EX for five years or so, and this 580 EXII is a great improvement. Like the metal foot, the swiveling head (both ways) and it seems to be more accurate than my 550. Would highly recommend it, except for the price. But I guess you get what you pay for. Shot a job using ST e2 and umbrella and it did a great job. Using with my old 550EX as both slave (with ST-E2) and as primary flash with 550 slaved. Does a good job.
Use it primarily with a 5D Mk2.

I previously had the 580EX and switched to this model. The only complaint I have is they took away the master/slave switch making it a little more difficult to switch on the fly....now you I have to go to a menu to select master, then so the same for slave.....besides that it is great!

I've been lusting for Canon's top-of-the-heap speedlight flash and am very happy to have waiting for the best. The 580EXII puts out a massive amount of light and recovers in the blink of an eye. The instruction manual is only so-so but you can search the internet for more details.
I'd give it another star if the Amazon price hadn't gone up so much in the last few months (in this tough economy). Still the flash is built to last and even the case is rugged enough to last a long, long, time.
