W00T! I ordered this product on Monday afternoon and recieved it on Friday :) boy was I a happy camper!
First I have to say that it was lighter than I expected! from all the reviews I had heard people were complaining about hoe heavy the 580 EX II was I suppose compared to the lower end flashes. Well it does add some weight to my rig (40D +70-200mm 2.8IS) but that really doesn't bother me any.
Second, the User interface was great! I make it a habbit to read the users manuals of all gear before I buy it, so that I am not surprised by how to operate it. No exception with this flash. There are a whole lot of features on this( including the wireless & multi-flash features, which I am really looking forward to using), however it is still quite simple to use the basic ETTL-II, bounced flash, diffuser, and catchlight card, even if you don't read the distructions.
in short: I give the 580EX II 5 stars, it is well built, easy to use, and reasonably priced (especially if you can get one during rebate season :) )Get more detail about Canon Speedlite 580EX II Flash for Canon EOS Digital SLR Cameras.
