New Flash From Canon

[Belmondo]

I just saw a brief mention of a new flash---the 580EX. There is also an optional external battery pack and a flash bracket available.

I thought there wasn't going to be anything that excited me in this latest release of goodies. Guess I was wrong.

Here's a little about it:

That's nice ! Hopefully the prices of the 420 and the 550 will go down ...

dpreview says that the 580EX replaces the 550EX. You may find closeout deals on them.
