The 580EX II is powerful, fast, flexible and quiet, and today sells used for next to nothing. If you’re not using radio control and are using it on-camera or with optical remote wireless control, there isn’t anything better. The 600EX series does recycle a little faster, but the power is the same (bolstered only by a slightly better reflector system at the longest zoom settings) and this 580EX II recycles super-fast. This 580EX II recycles in just 4.1 seconds from a full-power dump, and does it silently. It usually recycles instantly.
