I suspect it was simply a marketting move. If you want a larger "feature set" then you have to pay more :(.

The 580EX (I & II) is the only Canon flash to have it (even the 550EX didn't have it when it was king of the hill) so don't feel too bad.

I use the bounce card all the time.. it works great!

Also, a piece of white thick paper and an elastic works great too. Try an old birthday card or christmas card :D


Fell in love with photos.. made lots of money.. fell out of love with photos.. took a long break.. trying to find my love again.

If shooting landscape, I use the pop up card, if shooting portriat, I use an index card with a rubber band. Creates a great catch light
