Powerful, durable, versatile, and really expensive. That's this toy.
I bought 2, with an ST-E2, as a bundle for a little under $900, and I love the kit. Recycle is fast, they're very quiet (I still have an old 540EZ that you can tune a piano with from 300 yards away), and battery efficiency seems pretty good, although I've yet to have a really, really long session.
No need to carry on - the other reviewers here did just fine. Need a big, fat, portable light and E-TTL? Go buy one. Or two!
Highly recommended.
UPDATE 6-14-2008 - I finally shot a wedding with these. I have 2, and the ST-E2. I use Sanyo Eneloop batteries to power them, and in all took roughly 400 photos during the event with flash on, one of them set 1/1 for most of the shots. Battery longevity is WAY better than my old 540EZ, totally surprising. I never changed the batts the whole time. Better and better the longer I use them.Get more detail about Canon Speedlite 580EX II Flash for Canon EOS Digital SLR Cameras.
