I need help buying a Flash.?
Canon 550 EX TTL Speedlite
vs
Canon 580 EXII Flash
I have a Canon 20D EOS, and I am shooting both weddings, families in parks (up close and portrait)
550 EX - $300 used
580 - is around 500 new
I am not shotting professonal really. Just some here and there.
As a wedding photographer of "old". You need the most powerful flash you can get! That said I am surprised at your question. Why? because the trend some 20 yrs ago, was to photograph the entire wedding formals BEFORE the wedding using at least two umbrella studio electronic flash. This trend started a few years before I retired. So I am surprised at your wedding reference for the flash you're going to purchase.
When I photographed weddings in churches, the "old way" I used a Speed Graphic type electronic flash rated at 100 watt seconds power. Today the closest thing would be a Metz unit.
As to the "families in parks" again you have special circumstances. You want the flash to do some fill maybe. I used reflectors as I could seen the affect and expose for it.
As I was submitting this, I noticed a contributor suggest the newest flash. Unless there is some electronic reason in the pursuit of better picture control, I would go with the 550EX TTL. Electronic flashes are not as fragile as digital cameras. And these units are not cheap, so knowing Canon quality I would go for 550 EX TTL
