Design fault 580EX II

Feb 21, 2011

Who else wants their 580EX II replaced with something which is more reliable?

I wondered if its just me who is burning up 580EXIIs. Looks like it is a design error. Canon needs to rectify with a recall. Class action anyone? Canon blamed my 5D2 as a possible problem. Good I didn't send it to them.

Fairly detailed report and fairly definite investigation by the Pocket Wizard guys:
