I just went to cannon about 4 months ago from nikon, I have a sb600 and was wondering if there is any way I could use it with my cannon. I have not put it on the hotshoe b/c I just don't like on camera flash I would be more interested in useing it off camera. is there anyone that this could happen?

Check out The Strobist. Lots of people there who have Canon cameras prefer using SB600 or other nikon flash units off camera because the Canon units don't have a PC Sync port on the flash, and have to be used with hot shoe adapters (with the exception of the new 580ex II).

Direct from the Specifications page for the 580EX II on B&H's site.

Off Camera Terminal No

Canon does not have a currently produced EX series flash with Off Camera Terminal.

I stand corrected. Don't know why I thought it did. Good work pointing that out.

Speedlite 580EX II Flash-
The popular Speedlite 580EX Flash is being replaced by the new Speedlite 580EX II Flash, which features a host of improvements, including a metal hot shoe with an improved locking mechanism for added durability, an external metering sensor for non-TTL automatic flash exposure control and a PC socket for use with non-dedicated slave triggers. Fully compatible with all EOS SLRs, the new Speedlite 580EX II is gasketed for dust and moisture resistance, making it possible for users of EOS-1 class digital SLRs and many L-series EF lenses to use flash safely when shooting in dusty or wet environments.
