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The popular Speedlite 580EX Flash has been replaced by the new Speedlite 580EX II Flash, which features a host of improvements, including a metal hot shoe withan improved locking mechanism for added durability, an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 Speedlite 580 EX II Flash... a winner! February 8, 2008

This unit is superior to the 430 EX in all of the important ways: more powerful, many more features, built very well, a bit heavier, but worth the extra weight in performance. A must have for the pro and serious amateur. Amazon's price package could not be beat. I use the 430 EX as a slave unit and as a backup.

Of course, the flash is great, but I am giving the kit 1 star because of the batteries and charger.
I gave the kit a shot because it seemed like a cheap way of getting a decent diffuser and some extra nimh batts and a cheapo charger. Well, they are cheap for sure. I don't know if it is the charger or the batteries, but the "system" just doesn't work. I never even tried to troubleshoot. Charged the AA NiMh batteries for four hours, as usual, with a cheap charger and gave them a shot... 3 cycles of the flash and they were done for.
I called Adorama immediately and they refunded the money to me. I didn't even have to send the batteries/charger back.
To sum up: GREAT flash unit, of course, but USELESS batteries/charger system. Save yourself the hassle and get a slightly more expensive charger and some good NiMh batts, and buy the flash independently.
Great flash, great price. June 3, 2010

I am no professional, and yes a great camera helps, but with this flash my first night using the camera I was taking photos that came out very well. It has a lot of features that I have no idea what they are for, but I am just learning. The first night with the camera and flash, at the dirt track stock car races I got some fantastic photos, learned enough with the flash in 15 minutes of use to capture an accident happening near where I was standing and catching the action I submitted the photo to a northeastern PA racing paper and they did publish it.

Es un excelente producto, muy buena potencia y funciones muy practicas.
El unico defecto es que no tiene fotocelula.
Recomiendo este flash
