Anatoly, I have all three of these flashes. I understand that, technically, the 550 EX is better suited to the EOS series, but I find no practical difference between it and the 500 Super. Both will work ETTL with the Canon wireless setup. Both respond the same as slave units with this setup.
I had the 500 Super and bought the 550 for use with the ST-E2 wireless system and the 420 EX for use as a slave light with that setup. I now think I could have saved my money and bought another 500 Super with the same results. I'm sure others here have strong views re the 550 and I look forward to reading their comments.
