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

Further development of Canon's flagship Speedlite has led to the production of the 580 EX II. It is the choice Speedlite for all photographers, including professionals. Newly designed to match with the EOS-1D Mark III in terms of improved dust and water-resistance, the body's resistance and the ability to control flash functions and settings from the menu of the camera (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.Optional external power supply - compatible with dust and water-Resistant External Power Pack, Canon battery pack CP-E3 and Transistor Pack E Unit Dimensions - 3.0 x 5.3 x 4.5 inches / 76 x 134 x 114mm, Weight - 13.2 oz./375g without batteries (4 AA alkaline batteries add 3.5 oz./100g)

There is so much I can do with them both combined.

But as is the 580EXII is perfect for portraits of family, indoors or outdoors as a fill light.

Do not expect to operate as Speedlite 430EX and the 430EXII with Pocket Wizards.
