Makes me look good August 16, 2008
I got the Canon 580EX II Speedlite on the recommendation of a friend's father. I was looking at the 420 (because it was cheaper)but he told me to go with the best. I did, and I love it. My pictures shine. I'm a newbie, so I'm still getting used to it. But when I'm out doing my thing, I look more like a professional photographer with it than sticking with the in-house flash. I know this is shallow, but I live in L.A. :) Once I really learn how to use it, I know I'm gonna be doubly happy I got it. You can't go wrong getting the best. This is the best.
Great flash! August 14, 2008
Love my new flash. I haven't used it as much as I would like, but so far I am loving all the things about it. Especially after using a 380EX all these years! Love the way it swivels to bounce etc., and it's quick response time...very nice!
Great Flash, August 11, 2008
Great flash, just be careful if you use a quantum, it is possible to shove the cord in backwards and reverse the polarity and fry the flash. Not a good thing.
One of the Best Items in my Camera Bag! August 8, 2008
At first I thought the price was steep, but bought it anyway and WOW! Red eye is a thing of the past, the range and zoom are excellent, and no more noisy indoor photos in low light. I don't think I've actually used my camera's built-in flash in months. If you have a Canon camera that has a hot shoe, you can control all the flash's functions and access the custom feature menus from your camera making it very easy to use. Even the high-speed sync works great, but at diminished range (to be expected). I used 4 AA rechargeable batteries, and get a LOT of flashes out of a single charge. Comes with a great storage bag too. Well worth it, and will last for years.
 Great so far! August 1, 2008
I have only had my 580EX for a short time. I used in on a fashion shoot (my 1st) and it worked better than I did. Far better, of course, than the pop-up for serious work. The weight and bulk of the 580EX are somewhat of a detraction and convinced me not to use it on a recent, fast-paced trip. (Though inferior, the pop-up is a convenience that is hard to give up.) The 580EX has a wealth of features that will take me months to explore. I will pop back in and add more to this review as time goes on.
