Dayhawk, you are going to love it. I remember how blown away I was when I first used it. You better go read the flash bible sticky right away.

Ever since I got my 580EX, I've been using it with ETTL mode. I'm busy enough to check the settings on my 20D, so I don't need extra stress to use the flash in manual mode.:lol: That may change later when using the 20D becomes my second nature.:p
