5 out of 5 stars 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.


5 out of 5 stars 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!


5 out of 5 stars 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.


5 out of 5 stars 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.


4 out of 5 stars 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.
