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.
