Review on Enhance Your Photography with the Canon Speedlite 580EX II Flash for Canon EOS Digital SLR Cameras by Haraki Itsuki ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great product, best quality.

The flash head has a little play, so mine is nothing compared to how the "head" of the SB-900 dangles. Here, many write that there is no battery charge level . So, in theory, this level is not in more than one flash, even more than that, it is not in more than one amateur camera that runs on finger batteries. The battery starts blinking stupidly with some kind of icon . And after 5-10 minutes it dies . The manufacturer could, of course, intelligently insert branded batteries at 1500 apiece, if you had a battery charge =) Here, after all, the only thing that formed the basis was that these very finger-type batteries are available and cheap. for the same reason, they were stuck in bat. Blocks. There are certain sensors in the battery through which the camera determines the level of charge. And this is not the case with finger batteries. Do you think the manufacturer intentionally does not put a charge measurement sensor. It's not like that, they've been working on it for a long time. So far, to no avail. This is how finger batteries are arranged. I think from 4 extra. Akb is not lost anywhere. Take pictures with you when you go. And photographers whose camera is "bread" should also have a second one (at least 430) in reserve.

Pros
  • Great flash. Personally, I think that it is difficult to wish for better. I bought it a long time ago and the price tag for it at that time was not particularly adequate.
Cons
  • There is not. This is a really good device. And under the snow I stood with her, and fell into the rain. The carcass could not stand it: (Elke and flash on the side :) The system for attaching the flash to the camera shoe is completely protected from moisture and dust. The lid of the battery compartment is also fully rubberized on the inside.

Pros below: Turning the head 180 degrees in any direction, the presence of a reflector in the form of a card, speed of work, light power, ease of use, nice body material, works like a leader. Has some cons There is no battery indicator. if the batteries are dead, the screen lights up, but the charge does not occur. This phenomenon caused some to panic.

Great flash! Elevates shooting in poorly lit rooms to the level of studio shooting!
