Why did canon drop 580ex ii from their Speedlite Flash Lineup?
6 months ago

Canon has completely replaced the 580ex II with the 600EX-RT

Was canon have too many problems with the 580ex II?  The reason I am asking this is one of our 580ex II's stopped working in a recent wedding.  The display works fine, but the unit will not fire.  I am aware of the heat issue, so I don't take multiple shots.  We have enjoyed using this flash. Of course, the 580ex II is just past the warranty period.

Anyone else had this problem?
