Product Description
The popular Speedlite 580EX Flash has been replaced by the new Speedlite 580EX II Flash, which features a host of improvements, including a metal hot shoe withan improved locking mechanism for added durability, an external metering sensor for non-TTL automatic flash exposure control and a PC socket for use with non-dedicated slave triggers. Fully compatible with all EOS SLRs, the Speedlite 580EX II is gasketed for dust and moisture resistance, making it possible for users of EOS-1 class digital SLRs and many L-series EF lenses to use flash safely when shooting in dusty or wet environments.

Canon Speedlight 580EX II June 24, 2008
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
I was very happy with everything that was in the kit except for the quick charge battery charger. The battery charger was a piece of junk. Shortly after plugging it into the wall outlet the charger became very hot and so were the batteries. I quickly unplugged the unit and pulled the batteries out of the charger. Later I finished charging the batteries in a slow charger and they were fine. I have only had one opportunity to use the flash unit. The 580EX II worked with no problems. I simply attached it to the hotshoe on my Canon 40D and placed the plastic diffuser over it and took a time delayed photo of myself. I made no adjustments for the flash either in the camera or on the flash unit. I just put the batteries into the unit and it was ready to go to work. I haven't used the bracket adapter, that offsets the flash, but it seems that it should work just fine. It seems like it mounts to the tripod mount on the camera. And then it looks as though the bracket could then be attached to a tripod if desired. Adorama can keep those battery chargers.
