I have a few of the 580EX IIs, and I love them. They're very powerful, provide great results, and are very well-built. The only thing I don't like is the lack of master/slave switch - the couple of seconds it takes to put it in master/slave mode can cost you a few great shots, and under pressure it can be hard to switch it into those modes. Otherwise, love it.

This is a wonder full flash. It does everything that I ask of it. The only problem is I don't have more of them :-) Since it does act as a master for the syncing, it would be nice.

My the only con that I have of it, is that it doesn't take a Li-Ion battery. It instead eats AA's for snacks.

This is first external flash, I will admit, but I see the results of other flashes when I edit photos at my job (a wedding photographer's studio.) It works, (once I really learned how to use it) awesome, even in very high- ceilinged reception halls, which is the hardest thing sometimes about weddings. It does take a while to get used to, but it's well worth it! (Although, I still haven't figured out all of the buttons.. it'll come in time.)...
