- Auto-thyristor (another auto mode for exposure)
- Master capability with Canon's proprietary infrared-signalling
- Control wheel (you get buttons on the 430s, a wheel on the 580s)
- Catch light panel built-in
- Ability to tilt downwards 7°
- Stroboscopic mode (multiple flash bursts)
- Flash exposure bracketing

No matter what kind of photos you take - the extra swivel on the 580EX II makes a huge difference for bouncing the flash and angling it. The PC port is also great!
