Click here for larger imageEquipped for flash photography in a wide variety of situations, the Speedlite 600EX II-RT has a guide number of 197 ft. (60m) at ISO 100 to help achieve the lighting you desire. It offers 20mm to 200mm coverage, and when the extendable wide panel is pulled out, flash coverage moves as wide as 14mm. Plus, to maximize power and minimize energy consumption, the Speedlite 600EX II-RT can be directed to zoom in accordance with the camera’s image sensor size (full-frame and APS-C).

Engineered with a combination of highly heat-resistant material, a revised optical design for suppressing gain in the panel’s temperature, plus a redesigned interior structure, the Speedlite 600EX II-RT sees speed gains of 1.1 to 1.5x* self-powered, and 1.5 to 2.0x* when used with the optional Compact Battery Pack CP-E4N. An improved flash control algorithm and a redesigned Quick Flash function help to minimize unfired flashes for more reliable, continuous operation.
*As compared to the Speedlite 600EX-RT.
Wireless flash shooting support is available for both radio and optical transmission, offering users greater functional range when using a flash.
Click here for larger imageFor comprehensive lighting setup on the go, the Speedlite 600EX II-RT offers a number of options for both wireless flash and multi-camera operation. When used with a compatible flash, or flash driver mounted on camera, the Speedlite 600EX II-RT can serve as a slave unit in an optical setup, at distances of up to 49.2 ft./15m when indoors and 32.8 ft./10m when outdoors. In addition to optical wireless flash, the Speedlite 600EX II-RT is capable of radio transmitted wireless flash where the flash units need not be in visual proximity to one another and transmission distance is extended up to 98.4 ft./30m. Among cameras with the Speedlite 600EX II-RT attached, setups of up to 16 flash and camera units can be synchronized to take photographs simultaneously, making multi-angle and multi-directional photography setups simple. Additionally, remote shutter release can be achieved when the Speedlite 600EX II-RT is used as a slave unit with a compatible EOS digital SLR camera.
Multiple flash system allows control of up to five groups of flashes.
In addition to traditional optical wireless transmission, the Speedlite 600EX II-RT facilitates radio-controlled, two-way wireless transmission between up to 5 groups. Communicating on 2.4 GHz frequencies, the Speedlite 600EX II-RT does not have the same directional limitations of traditional wireless optical transmitters. Where other wireless signals can be interrupted by physical obstacles, radio controlled systems excel. Fifteen transmission channels are available, selectable manually or automatically, and radio transmission IDs can be set to prevent misfiring in the event of signal interference on the same channel.
Dust- and water-resistant body for reliable operation in various environments.
The Speedlite 600EX II-RT is designed to maintain the high standard of dust- and water-resistant performance found on Canon’s EOS-1D series of cameras. Its exterior seams are sealed to help maintain airtightness, while a dust- and water-resistant adapter mounted to the bottom of the flash surrounds and locks around the camera’s hot shoe for a nearly impenetrable seal. By maintaining the overall weather-resistant surface of the EOS-1D series, the Speedlite 600EX II-RT can bring flash photography to more places, in more environments, without compromise.
New features include a flash-readiness indicator on display panel, button and dial operation and manual flash output for ease of operation.
The Speedlite 600EX II-RT features a highly legible GUI for steady and efficient multi-flash control. Design refinements such as a new flash-readiness indicator on the display panel help ensure that settings are easily confirmed with a glance. New combination button and dial operations not only speed up setting changes and manual flash control, but also help avoid unintended changes through inadvertent presses of buttons for confident, convenient operation.
New, specially designed accessories include a bounce adapter, SCF-E3 color hard-type filter sets and a soft case.
The Speedlite 600EX II-RT comes with a number of key accessories designed to help position, diffuse and tone its output for optimal results. The Bounce Adapter SBA-E3 widens and diffuses bounce lighting, achieving a soft effect especially in shadow areas. The SCF-E3 color hard-type filter sets include the Color Filter SCF-E3OR1, which is effective in merging ambient incandescent light with the flash’s bluish output for warm, atmospheric results. These accessories also include the Color Filter SCF-E3OR2, which is useful for balancing out the red fogging typical of interior lighting, for more natural, realistic light. Both filters attach and detach with ease for quick and smooth set-up. The Speedlite 600EX II-RT is also bundled with a soft case that is designed not only to hold all its flash accessories, but can also store the flash unit with the filter attached and has a belt loop for speedy access on the go.
Dot matrix LCD panel for enhanced display information, including flash mode, C.Fn and P.Fn for quick and convenient visibility.
The Speedlite 600EX II-RT’s dot matrix LCD panel graphically displays detailed flash modes, Custom and Personal Function settings and status indicators for both master and slave units, enabling wireless configurations with more detailed information than previous flashes. A new flash-readiness indicator means the flash status can be confirmed in an instant, and backlit operation buttons mean high visibility in both bright and dark environments.
15 Custom Functions and 6 Personal Functions for creative flexibility.
To accommodate any number of shooting styles, the Speedlite 600EX II-RT has 15 custom functions for incredible flexibility. Options include flash exposure compensation, flash exposure bracketing controls, modeling flash, AF assist control, power and energy saving features, beep and much, much more. Personal functions, like LCD panel illumination color and Master/Slave configurations, are also easily set on the Speedlite 600EX II-RT.
Full swivel, 180° in either direction.
The Speedlite 600EX II-RT’s flash head is designed for easy bounce flash, in any direction. The head can be angled 90° up, 7° down and can rotate 180° left and right. A bounce lock with release button helps things stay in place. Additionally, the Speedlite 600EX II-RT features a catchlight panel to create catch light in the eyes of the subject for a more expressive look.

Now comes this flash...I have done all kinds of test shots and each one of the original setting shots, was spot on. I hated using ETTL as it never worked but, on this flash...It does!
The build quality is upgraded and you feel the differences on the On/Off switch and buttons, it is much better... Really fast recycle times, good battery life and the UI settings is really simple and easy to use...I did notice the recycle times were a little longer in Manual @ 1/1 flash exposure...but I have never really needed 1/1 for anything I shoot. I do/did shoot mostly in Manual as I hated the ETTL results...but with this flash..I will be spreading my visual flash wings so to speak and trying new things as I am sure the results will be what I have been wanting and looking for all these years...with a flash! I have shot Canon for 30+ years and I finally have a great flash...way to go Canon!
On the Con...side...the new pouch is just horrible...way to bulky to carry around...bad design...I switched the pouches from the old 600ex-rt and like it much better...some things should not be changed. ;)
I will definitely be adding a couple more of these to my equipment list and will be buying from Murphys Camera on Amazon.com!
The Speedlite is very well built, weather sealed, and powerful. Throw in a set of eneloop batteries, and it recycles very fast. Since getting my current set of Speedlites and transmitter, my strobes have yet to leave the studio, and have sat quietly more and more frequently in studio. The freedom, and the creativity that allows, granted by the Speedlites makes using them so much more enjoyable.
You can find much cheaper flashes to be sure, but it's hard to go wrong with the Canon's for quality, reliability, and integration with the EOS system.
I have had this for a week and so far I am pleased.

I have had this for a week and so far I am pleased.
LOVE IT!! Fast, fast , fast and did I mention fast. I'm an event photographer and love natural light but when inside a dark club or dark festival I love me some good flash fill. To be honest I've only used it for one gig since I just got it two days ago but it worked great at the party and can't wait to buy another to slave together for studio lights.
It does recycle every 1/2 second to second using my Amazon Basic AA's lithium batteries so no complaining from me. Also syncs perfect with both the 7d Mark ii and 5d Mark iii. I'll give a newer more in-depth review after further use.
It gets only 4 stars because $579.00 is SPENDY for a flash but I needed a new Canon flash and I'm not buying anything that has an older version when a brand new version just came out.
Cool toy for my gear.

Sin meterme en el tema de strobist, el costo que encontré fue el mejor del mercado. Además de que me llegaron en excelentes condiciones.
I tried burst shots and not a single shot was a miss, this I used with Canon Transmitter ST-E3-RT, and triggered this flash remotely. I am also expxloring lot of color filters and diffusers now, and its an amazing piece of equipment to work with.
Also, to mention, the delivery was quick and done before exected time.
