Canon Speedlite 580EX II Flash for Canon EOS Digital SLR Cameras


This flash works a bit faster than the 550ex, but frankly couple things are wrong with it:

master/slave switch - if you never use it, then no biggie,but I do and this is a PIA to change with the menu. MUCH prefer the old style switch.

The hot shoe clamp mechanism - this is awesome. but it does not work with a lot of accessories (too tight).

Auto flash functionality - this is also annoying. You have to set a custom function.

I prefer more switches, not less. I wish they still make the 550ex, it was all I needed. As it is, this is a terribly overpriced flash that is worse in some ways than 550exGet more detail about Canon Speedlite 580EX II Flash for Canon EOS Digital SLR Cameras.
