![]() I definitely like the new, very-professional quiet charging, but I need to relearn my flash-ready indicators. I've grown accustomed to listening to the whine of the charging flashes - I can audibly tell when they are at full power and know when the batteries are nearing the end of their charge. What is more noticeable to me is the lack of sound during the recharging phase. The 580EX II recycles approximately 20% faster than the 580EX. Most (but not all) of the Canon Speedlite 580EX II Flash's other changes from the 580EX are good ones.
