I've read that you cannot change FEC for Yongnuo flashes through the Canon menus - which would be a problem for me because I ususally put the flash somewhere else and then operate it remotely. And high speed flash is a thing I really value - freezing a bird in flight with more than 1/250s flash is really amazing.

To the OP: I own the 430EX2, I bought it because its price has dropped so much that it only costs as much as the 270EX. The good thing about the 430EX2 is that it "just works", I am usually using it as a remote slave with my 60D in combination with the internal fill flash. Faster recycle time with an external battery pack for high speed bounce shots surely would be nice, but you have to shell out much more money for that.

i use the yongnuo external battery packs on all my 580exii flashes they are less than $50 each and work great, boost recycle time and last forever before you need to change batteries

zim:
580exii  + yongnuo external battery pack it's the right thing to do. Just need to get the finances sorted. I'm holding on to my eye teeth, right hand and granny for the 5dblaa. anyone wanna buy a spleen?  ;D ;D ;D

Assume a 580exii will work with a new 5D!!!

Thanks eveyone for all for the advice
