The best thing I've ever used, I recommend it to everyone!

But this is a tribute to the power of the impulse and there is nowhere to go, where the main thing is the framing and the plot, it's just perfect without reservations.

Pros
  • moisture protection (everything is rubberized) but when working with the same photo umbrellas, Pampering, of course (it’s cheaper to buy a TTL shoe synchronizer than a second such flash), second (when using high-quality batteries such as Imedion or Eneloop) There are all the necessary operating modes (even a stroboscope)
Cons
  • So do not her after the warning of overheating.

A high-quality product, the price corresponds to the quality.

1. One puff or Canon Speedlite Transmitter ST-E3-RT - should naturally stand on the camera. You can turn off the flash so that it does not puff and control it further . 2. Confused menu but you can figure it out. 3. yesterday's bags, some batteries are worth something. With its pros. 1. Faster recharge 2. Quick switch to radio mode. (On the last 580th, you are tormented by the button to press in order to transfer to the synchronization mode, everything is more convenient here). 3. Silent…

The best thing for the money, Im glad I chose this option.

The flash made me happy. After the Yongnuo 565EX burned out, I thought about what kind of flash to get for almost a year. In fact (I didn’t want to take the Chinese anymore) there were three options on the market - the new 430EX II, the used 580EX II and the new (or used) 600EX (-RT). For a year I managed to try both the 430th and 580th. In the first, I was not satisfied with the lack of the ability to turn my head in the direction up-behind-the-back and a strong drop in power when using…

Pros
  • 1. Exposure metering is more accurate than that of its predecessor, the 580 had to be corrected literally every other time plus by 1/3-2/3. 2. More convenient interface (readability and backlighting of the screen, binding of buttons, more convenient control wheel). 3. Complete filter system. 4. Built-in radio synchronizer (in the presence of a transmitter). 5. Quickly recharges - on fresh batteries at full power - 10-20 puffs without delay. 6. The autofocus backlight module is the best that Canon has had in the entire history of flashes.
Cons
  • 1. Slightly lies the automatic white balance (in the direction of warm tones). 2. Dimensions and weight are still too big for my 550D. 3. The fastening on the belt on the complete case is very strange - not everyone wears unloading systems with vertical belts. 4. In slave mode with all working groups - the screen is quite cluttered. 5. To really find fault - a plastic tripod mount on the complete foot.

Impressions from the purchase are good, buy.

In general, I bought this device. Batteries run out quickly. filmed a wedding 2 sets of batteries weren't quite enough. + I didn’t like the plastic on the flash, there is also a yangnow 580, then in appearance it is somehow more firmly made . than 600 . and in price - like a Cossack and an airplane . I bought 600 because of the shooting speed, but somehow it doesn’t really recharge / is ready to start - I didn’t notice the speed of the plane at all . I think that the price of 17-18…

Pros
  • synchronization with other canon flashes
Cons
  • price

The perfect purchase for me, exactly what I was looking for!

This flash is not for amateurs who have a high price and lack the technical and creative skills in professional use of such an accessory. I justified its price with just one shoot. More than 200,000 thousand frames have already been shot with this flash in two years (God forbid everyone to shoot like that). I shoot a lot of sports. Gymnastics, boxing, swimming, skiing. "Punching" a large pool in full length. Let someone do something else from 3 to 5 frames per second, when the emerging athlete…

Pros
  • A powerful enough flash, many modes, it is possible to shoot in automatic modes and adjust everything for yourself in manual settings. I freely shoot in multi mode with a high rate of fire and at a focal length of up to 200, with such a focus I freely punch through a distance of 50-70 meters. No earlier flash from canon could do this.
Cons
  • not revealed yet (I’ve been renting for two years)

One of the best offers, glad I bought it.

In general, a convenient flash, high-quality assembly, good and fast work, convenient autofocus illumination. By the way, filters are attached to compensate for the color difference, they help with a bang, but you need to be ready to use them in advance. I was also pleased that the flash lasts for 500 or even 1000 operations, sometimes more from batteries alone. It was not possible to calculate how much she does, but with the number of more than 1900 shots, she managed, and the batteries were…

Pros
  • 1-Fast recycle (up to 5.5 seconds at full power, in my case 2-3 seconds, at average power less than one second, in most cases, less than a second or per second, withstand burst shooting at 6 frames per second ). 2-Easy operation. It is very easy to deal with it for someone who has never worked with a flash, easier than the 580th and previous ones. 3-Radio synchronizer, although there is still a limited choice, but it is already a good start for the future. 4- The number of operations on average is about 400-500, and with good batteries and with average power, it is enough for 1500-2022 operations, when the previous ones, including 580, have no more than 800. At maximum power, it is enough for 150-400 operations, depending on the quality of batteries or accumulators. True, when the batteries are discharged or the batteries become infected longer, but this usually indicates that the batteries have finally run out. 5-Omnidirectionality. The flash head can be rotated in any direction. 6-Built-in 14mm diffuser, reflective card and filters to compensate for incandescent lamps included. 7-Dust-moisture protection. 8-Protection against overheating. 9-Stroboscopic mode.
Cons
  • 1-Quite big and heavy. 480 looks more comfortable. The 2-diffuser is useful, but it dampens the flash power a lot, by 1/4 for sure.

One of the best deals, glad I bought this.

I was pleasantly surprised to find new filters packaged in one flash case. This is a completely redesigned design: the filter is made in the form of a plastic nozzle, which is completely painted in orange and fits snugly on the flash head when installed, perfectly fixed and does not leave any gaps. There are two filters, as before: orange (reduces the temperature from a standard flash to that of an incandescent lamp) and the same, but lower density (reduces the temperature from a standard flash

Pros
  • In general, I liked everything, unlike the old Canon Speedlite 600 EX-RT flash is more efficient and helped a lot in my work.
Cons
  • There is not.

Canon flash that bridges the gap with Nikon

Most photographers I know shoot with Canon, but I have a few friends who work for Nikon. I envied the superiority of Nikon flashes over Canon. In my opinion, the 600EX-RT levels the playing field. Here are a few comments on my first impressions of this new flash: 1. The built-in radio works perfectly and the connection is almost instantaneous2. Adjusting the flash intensity of different groups isn't as easy as it is in Pocket Wizard AC3, but it's not bad. Once you get the hang of it, it's only…

Pros
  • Free for educational purposes
Cons
  • Not sure

A combined test of the excellent 580EX II, 600EX-RT and ST-E2 Speedlites

I love my two Canon Speedlites, which I use sometimes on and sometimes off camera with the ST-E2 infrared controller. All of these devices have an AF assist light, which is good as my EOS 5D3 and 1D4 cameras don't have flashes or AF indicators. Sometimes I use the ST-E2 exclusively for this function. Speedlite 580EX II (purchased January 2010) This is a very reliable and easy to use flash. It replaced the Speedlite 550EX, which was quite difficult to work with. Unlike the old 550EX, you press…

Pros
  • Weight
Cons
  • Some little things

Amazing for strobists and event photographers

I sold all my previous flashes and bought this one. Earlier flashes include the Canon 580exII, 580ex and 430exII. Pros: First, if you're a strobist or an off-camera flash enthusiast, sell everything you own and get these. An RF alarm system and fully independent group controls right from your main unit will change everything for you. Already using RadioPoppers or a PocketWizard FlexTT system? Welcome to a new world of reliability, easy setup and battery life. By switching to "Gr" mode on the…

Pros
  • Very impressive
Cons
  • boring packaging
