| 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. Optional External power supply - compatible with Dust- and water- Resistant External Power Pack, Canon battery pack CP-E3 and Transistor Pack E Unit Dimensions - 3.0 x 5.3 x 4.5 inches /76 x 134 x 114mm; Weight - 13.2 oz./375g, without batteries (4 AA alkaline batteries add 3.5 oz./100g) |

Written on October 24, 2008 Summary: Very Satisfied Customer I purchased this flash for my new Canon 50D. I love it! Although, i am disappointed that a few days after i purchased it from Amazon they dropped the price, but i really needed it for a wedding. I bought ECO trends rechargeable batteries @ walmart. I didn't have to charge it for the entire day. I was amazed! I will continue to buy from amazon because they are the best in fast shipping. This flash is a great addition to my camera collection. Written on October 24, 2008 Summary: Amazon & Canon 580EX II I have to give praise to Amazon and the Canon 580EX II. The delivery was a day ahead of the schedule date of delivery and the pricing is unbelievable compared to anybody else! I will be purchasing another one! Written on October 18, 2008 Summary: great flash I just started shooting weddings this year, and thought I could make do with just a 430ex. Then I went to a friends wedding, and their photographer shot 9 quick shots in a row with his flash, and I was wondering, wow how did he do that? Then I saw that he had this 580exII and the CP-E4 external power pack. Once I got this combo, it made a night and day difference. Don't have to worry about whether or not my flash will be charged when something special happens. Don't have to worry about changing batteries. This combo is a must for any low light photographer. Written on October 12, 2008 Summary: Quality Counts I've tried many substitute Flash attachments for my Canon cameras over the years. Being as "cheap" as I am, I delayed this purchse for years. What a mistake. This is a great device and has exceeded my expectations in every way.  Written on October 11, 2008 Summary: Do not fire more than 20 continuous flashes? From page one of the manual: "Cautions for firing continuous flashes * To avoid overheating and degrading the flash head, do not fire more than 20 continuous flashes. After 20 continuous flashes, allow a rest time of at least 10 min. * If you fire more than 20 continuous flashes and then fire more flashes in short intervals, the inner overheating prevention function may be activated to make the recycling time about 8 to 20 sec. If this occurs, allow a rest time of about 15 min. and the flash will then return to normal." The business end of the flash head browned and melted during the first shoot. It would still fire, but not zoom. It was powered by Duracell 2650mAh NiMH rechargeable AAs and had an Expo Imaging Ray Flash attached to it. It was mounted on a 1D Mark III with 90mm TS-E. It started functioning normally after it cooled down, but I took it back anyway. The 580EX II with Ray flash is a GREAT light weight on camera fill, but this combo is no good for shooting continuously for extended periods (about 3 minutes or longer.) Maybe the Nikon SB-900 if you can live without ttl? Otherwise, Alien Bees or Profoto will do, but at greater expense and much greater weight. The Ray Flash did include two shims, which allowed me to mount it on an old Nikon SB-80DX, but I only took a few test shots with that combo before I returned both items. Good luck! [...] |
