Skip it.

I've tried using this thing for a variety of different shoots, from portraits to action sports and it simply does not work well. The line of sight needed for it to work is frustrating. I love you Canon, but can we get a radio transmitter instead? For the price of this transmitter, save up a little extra and purchase two radio transmitters instead.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Looking for the next generation model

I've used this product for about a year now, and I have a complaint about how outdated this seems. I find myself using 580EX II's set to off for master flash work more than I use this. I am noticing that the only times I use this is when I need autofocus in low light conditions. It's not very cost effective for the price. The 580 EX II can do more than this can as a slave master and it's only a marginal cost more expensive. I hope that Canon updates this product, because it's useful, but appears to have become obsolete.
Pros: small, light, assist autofocus
Cons: obsolete, limited features
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I had been happy with performance but now very disappointed in build quality. The AF filter came off while walking through a park. Unbelievable.
Pros: quiet, Good Exposure performance, Fast recycling time
Cons: Poor build quality
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Bad AF Cover Design

Just got the ST-E2 and I lost the AF cover first day out...
I noticed earlier in the day that it comes off really easy. I have lost the cover...Bad design. It should have snap in tabs to keep it in place.

Cons: Poor build quality
