Canon Speedlite 580 EX VS 580 EX II

[Ryan.S]

Hi all...

Basically i am just wondering what the difference between the 580 EX and the 580 EX II is?

Cheers,

I think its weather sealing, and the menu option to turn master/slave on the EX II.

The 580exII is also slightly bigger than the 580ex... Some poor comparison pics here

Also the Battery door on the 580exII is MUCH MUCH MUCH better than the one on the 580ex... im always concerned its going to drop off on the 580ex, as it opens in a funny way, whereas the 580exII is nice and easy... thought could just be me have poor manual dexterity.

Is that Polish for "I'm a clumsy bugger"

Its definately not English... maybe ive had a bottle or two too many. But Yus, thats about the top and bottom of it.
