Product Description
Further development of Canon's flagship Speedlite has led to the production of the 580 EX II. This is the premier Speedlite for all photographers, including professionals. Newly designed to match with the EOS-1D Mark III in terms of improved dust- and water-resistance, body strength, and the ability to control flash functions and settings from the camera menu (EOS-1D Mark III only). Other features include improved communication reliability through its direct contacts, and recycling time is both 20% shorter than the 580EX and is completely inaudible.

 A Good Complement for Your Canon 40D Digital Camera January 20, 2008

Bought this just before Christmas from Amazon. With expedited shipping, it arrived at 5:00PM Christmas Eve just as promised. One good feature is the sliding locking feature that locks the speedlight to the camera shoe. I had a Nikon speedlight before I went digital SLR and you always had to turn the dial on the Nikon speedlight,and sometimes you did it too tightly. The Canon speedlight eliminates that. The flash worked right out of the box and my digital Christmas pictures turned out great. All pictures had plenty of light and the only ones that were dark is when I forgot to switch on the speedlight. This speedlight is a must if you spent $1,500 for a Canon 40E digital SLR.

Its important to review and improve your product at every turn and Canon has done just that. It's smaller than the previous model 550EX and pumps out more light when needed. Its more user friendly also. While not the cheapest model on the market its well worth the extra dollars for a flash unit designed for Canon cameras.
Highly recommended.
