I am wondering why alot of people are willing to pay $400 plus 3% paypal fees for a used 580EX II, but at the same time BH is selling for $450 + free shipping + 1 year warranty? Is it really worth it for the $38 of saving? I am just curious. Peace

There are TONS of results where capacitors have ceased to function. Youngnuo's flashes should be taken with a grain of salt until they have better electronic circuitry design. Flickr

I would imagine after Sept 3?! Unless the new version is going to have a "Mr. Fusion" power supply I don't think you have anything to worry about. Pick the 580EX II up now at the discount. If there is a new one it will certainly cost more.
