Im so disappointed with this speedlight. I purchased this on Spetember 1, 2017. Ive shot 4 weddings and an engagement using it, and two of my "old" Canon 600s (the newest of which was purchased in Feb. 2016, and both have been through numerous weddings, engagements, and seniors). During the ceremony of my wedding (shot in a dark barn) this past Friday, this speedlight quit firing. It was taking a painfully long time to recycle or "charge", as it reads on the screen. I ended up switching out to my old Canon 600EX-RT, and shot the rest of the day with it. Decided to give the 600 EX II another go for an engagement session last night, and half way in the recycle time became a hindrance. I ran home, and picked up one of my 600s, and finished up. Im going to pick up a Canon CP-E4N Battery pack, and see if it makes a difference... If not, Im retiring this speedlight, and picking up another one of the original 600s. Note: I always use Energizer Ultimate Lithium batteries, as I have found that nothing else compares when it comes to juicing a speedlight.
