The Canon Speedlite 580EX II is an excellent flash product. It serves as master flash so it's especially useful if you have an older Canon Speedlite that you'd like to continue using as a slave flash.
The controls are easy to use and learn for an aspiring photographer and strobist. If you're serious about photography, especially with portrait, wedding, event and even wild life photography this flash is highly recommended. Yes, even from 100 yards away setting the flash properly while taking photos with your 400mm lens will give the animal's eyes the "pop" you need to make the image outstanding.
The camera comes with a wide angle deflector built in and a bounce card so you can go without a flash diffuser if you are concerned about having too harsh of light coming off this flash and you don't have any good surfaces to bounce the light from. But I chose to buy this product with Sto-Fen Omni-Bounce for the Canon 580EX Flash a good accessory to have in your camera bag.
As far as battery usage is concerned, I've been using my flash on and off for a few months now without having to change the batteries. I'm not doing weddings or events at the moment so I haven't had the opportunity to use the flash a lot at one time, but I've taken about 150 images so far and not had to replace the batteries even with the flash sitting there unused between uses.Get more detail about Canon Speedlite 580EX II Flash for Canon EOS Digital SLR Cameras.
