Fantastic Flash Unit June 4, 2008
580EX II...enough said! Canon improved on their previous model of 580ex and did it right! If you have the money and love to use flash for playing with light then you cannot go wrong! Great durability and power!
Excellent flash for conon DSLR June 1, 2008
I have been using this flash since 3 months. It is excellent. Especially when I take photographs for indoor parties, this is the best flash for canon dslr.

Compact size with powerful output - rugged construction! May 29, 2008
I do recommend potential buyers to rent one first prior to purchasing just to get a feel for the product. Sometimes reviews are not that accurate like complains of the LCD blinking when on bounce mode. The reviewer was ill-informed, did not read the manual, and do not know what they're doing. The reason the LCD blinks is a reminder that the wide angle diffuser is not returned completely to the original position. As for features, the flash is surprisingly small with lots of power for a little unit. I do wonder about color temperature; I'm not certain that the flash temperature color calibrates like the Metz equivalent. The manual does not state anything about this. High speed synch works great, to able to use fill flash at any shutter speed during the day. I've used the flash primarily for event photography with my Canon 5D, 24-105mm, a FlashFrame HOT, Canon E-TTL II extension cord and a Gary Fong Diffusion Dome. My setting is adjusted to about +2/3 exposure and usually in the up position. Power source is provided by rechargeable Sanyo Lithium AA batteries and is good for about 150shots. I will buy a second 580EX II when my event photography gigs increase. For now, I will rent another when the need arises.
