This has been answered in every thread about the 383 - they're the same power, just don't have a zoom head! Not an issue of you're going to be firing them into an umbrella. • Wedding Photographer - Sydney and Wollongong

And the solution is simple - much simpler than if you had too-narrow a beam. • Wedding Photographer - Sydney and Wollongong

The 580 EX has a 58m GN, but it's at 105mm coverage. • Wedding Photographer - Sydney and Wollongong

Just putting that info out there just in case anyone wonders. Your right the solution is rather simple, but to have a solution there must be a problem Light, composition, shooting technique matter to the end quality most. -Pekka

They work in sunlight....just not reliably...heh heh. They zoom AND swivel, and are plentiful in supply.

No doubt good flashes with nice features, but for the budget minded photographer you could get 2 383s, adapters, umbrellas and lightstands for the price of 1 Canon flash and thats for the older model Canons (i.e. 430ex) Light, composition, shooting technique matter to the end quality most. -Pekka

I'd rather have FOUR Sunpaks than only one 580EXII for my off-camera work... • Wedding Photographer - Sydney and Wollongong
