My first flash for my first DSLR.
I was initially thinking of getting the 430EX II. But then I really wanted a flash that I will be able to use as a master flash someday (although not quite soon as I'm just getting started with this hobby). I also wanted something that I'm sure will be the primary flash that I'll ever need. Slave flashes can be just the cheap ones from other manufacturers.
Read a couple of reviews, saw a couple of demos, and then my mind was set. After a couple of hours of thinking, I bought it. I also noticed that this flash has been the top of the line for quite some time now and if Canon decides to make a higher model, the price would definitely be higher (will be lens-like price).
Tested the flash against the built-in flash. Colors are sharper and more life-like and there are options to bounce and face the flash to different directions other than just focused on the subject.
Flash is really worth it, got it under 400 dollars from Quality Photo. Will do a lot of reading about using flashes from now on to maximize this thing =).
Happy shooting.Get more detail about Canon Speedlite 580EX II Flash for Canon EOS Digital SLR Cameras.
