One of the two Canon Speedlite flashes above is fake. Can you tell which one? About a month ago I walked into the Canon Quick Repair Centre in Shanghai. I had a minor problem with a Canon 580 EX II: the high-speed sync refused to work.
I had reasons not to be worried: the flash was less than two months old, I had my warranty card and apart from having been fired a few times the unit was as good as new. So when I walked up to the counter to explain my problem, the worst I could imagine happening was being told I wasn’t very smart followed by a brief demonstration. It wouldn’t be the first time when electronics are involved.
