Very Addictive Speedlite
Bought one of these about 3 years ago when my wife and I had just upgraded from point and click into DSLR photography. Big mistake! Wife is now getting very serious about her photography and has started to shoot weddings. So, we had to add some strobes. Have tried a non-Canon (Sigma), the 430EX II and a little 420EX to light backgrounds with. Both the Sigma and the 430EX left us wanting for the 580EX II. So we got rid of them both and just ordered another 580EX II from Amazon. Expect it any day now. In a while we will get the 3rd 580 EX II. This strobe will spoil you.

You could need a bracket for your flash
I bought the Canon Speedlight 580EX II flash to use with my new Canon 50D camera with a Canon EF 100-400mm f4.5-5.6L IS USM Telephoto Zoom Lens, but nobody told me that this lens is too large and the light of the flash don't reach the subject without a bracket. But with the bracket you also need a cord to connect the flash to the camera (in my case, a Canon OC-E3 or equivalent). So I wanted to share this information to help other people that are planning to get a similar equipment.

After you buy your new Canon EOS, this is the next thing you need!
It seems nearly crazy to spend $400 for a flash - but after you learn about this, it takes your flash pictures to a whole new level. Bounce flash with TTL, just amazing. Add a Gary Fong Lightsphere to the flash and you will have near studio quality photos that is portable. This is a powerful flash that you won't regret owning. Built solid - it will last for years. If you are serious about your photography, the Speedlite 580EX is a no-brainer. It is an amazing flash. Has a built-in remote too.

580 canon flash
another great flash by canon, needed a master flash for my other canon speed lite collection and this was obviously the next step. if you need only flash and didn't want to spend the money spend the money this is only a couple of hudnred or so more than 400 series, you will end up getting this if you plan on doing any type of studio, photoshoot or project. company was fast and reliable and no issues on shipping.

Canon Cameras HistoryCanon Corporation is a world-known manufacturer of office equipment ranging from printers and fax machines to scanners and copying machines.
The amount of photographic equipment produced by Canon is rather moderate in comparison to their other products. But it is in demand around the world. Don’t forget that it is the photographic cameras that the company began its business with.
As early as in 1933 Goro Yoshida and his brother-in-law, Sabura, founded the Precision Optical Instruments Laboratory in Tokyo. Their goal was to create a Japanese camera and make it known throughout the world. To begin with, the young people bought up and examined most advanced German models of that day. The enterprise was sponsored by Takeshi Mitarai, best friend of Uchida, a prosperous doctor, who later became president of the company.
In the following year, 1934, Japan's first domestically-made 35mm focal-plane shutter camera “was born” and was named "Kwanon" - after the Buddhist Goddess of Mercy. The trademark Canon was registered a year later.
The first consumer model Hansa Canon appeared in 1937 and the le... More About Canon Cameras |
