Here is what people are saying about the Canon Speedlite 430EX II Flash for Canon DSLRs
5 Star Rating  "Great...."2009-11-11
- Reviewed By User: AKW9MW5B2TMEP
I am sort of new to photography. I was not aware how much difference adding a flash would make. Totally satisfied with this purchase. Can't wait to add lenses to my inventory to take better pictures.
 
5 Star Rating  "Much More Than I expected"2009-11-05
- Reviewed By User: ATJZT5H85GG51
This is not exactly a review but a first hand exprience of this amazing flash.

The 430EX II is a perfect match for my 50D. Lens used was a Canon EF-S 18-200 f/3.5-5.6 standard zoom lens only for this occation.

I took 1,053 indoor shots on a set of fresh batteries on this flash (still have plenty of energy left) and it never failed me. Not even once. Some of my shots were in 2 to 5 bursts and were about 25ft away from the subject (due to the nature of the event. The exposures was just right on. I used mutiple camera settings using only the pre-set scenes.
 
5 Star Rating  "Works as expected -- excellent!"2009-11-01

I had high hopes when I decided to buy this flash unit. I read detailed reviews about this on the web (especially at The Digital Picture). I had already tried an old, non-rotating, single-power flash unit. It produced great results in combination with a flash cable so that I could point the light in any direction. It proved to me that bounced flash was an incredibly useful and aesthetically pleasing technique, unlike direct flash.

What advantages does the 430EX II have over my (free) old dumb flash and the camera's built-in flash?

0) E-TTL. No more manually tweaking aperture and ISO to get the right exposure! The camera evaluates scene with a pre-flash and computes the correct exposure. You get the right exposure the first time, every time.

1) Focus assist. Oh my god, this feature is absolutely incredible. Because the focus assist lamp produces a pattern, YOU CAN FOCUS ON FEATURELESS SOLID-COLORED WALLS. Besides that, the focusing is always very fast. If you're doing indoor photography, you can disable the flashing and just use the flash unit as a focus assist device.

2) More power. With a guide number of 43 metres, this unit is much more powerful than the camera's built-in flash (GN ~15 m) and more powerful than my dumb flash. More power is never a bad thing. It allows headroom to play with diffusers, bouncers, walls/ceilings, and such. And the unit can always fire at fractional power, e.g. 1/8, 1/64.

3) Swivel head. Direct "front" flashing is almost always the wrong thing to do, from an aesthetic point of view. The swivel head allows the flash to be pointed upward, sideways, rearwards toward a suitable wall.

Incidentally, these external flashes are designed to also work with Canon G and Pro compact/prosumer cameras that have hotshoes, and they enjoy the benefits of a powerful light and bounce flash just as well as a DSLR can.


A powerful swiveling flash unit like the 430EX II is one of the essential accessories for beginning photographers, giving an incredible amount of bang for the buck. Other top-priority items for cheap photographers include:
* Camera bag (or use/modify any bag that fits)
* Hoya Super HMC UV filter for each lens
* Air blower (keep those glass surfaces clean)
* Circular polarizer filter (especially for outdoor/city/landscape photographers)
* Big memory card (16 GB for ~$40, you have no excuse)
* Tripod. Be careful, DSLRs can be heavy and may require sturdier tripods than the absolute minimum.

Optional:
* Sharp zoom lenses (e.g. L series; e.g. 17-55mm & 70-200mm)
* Telephoto lens (in the 100mm to 300mm range)
* Fast portrait lens with bokeh (e.g. 50mm f/1.4)
* Macro lens (e.g. 100mm)
* Lens hood (good for protecting against rain)

* Lens pen, lens brush
* Extra batteries
* Vertical grip
* Shutter switch (good for bulbing)
* Flash cable
* Flash diffuser (e.g. Sto-fen)
* Neutral density filter
* Compact camera (if carrying a DSLR everywhere gets tiring)

Fast delivery of a terrific product. I'm using this speedlight as a second unit, off camera and it is just what I needed. In fact, I need another one.
 
5 Star Rating  "Practical and inexpensive"2009-10-21
- Reviewed By User: A125JUXZDRK8MY
Unit works great. Note that you might want to do some research on flashes before buying one - there are larger ones out there which are definitely more capable - but also more expensive.

For the price this is a great deal. Another cheap route to go would be to get a cheaper non-TTL flash (maybe even a more powerful one), and then save up for wireless triggers.
 
4 Star Rating  "Absolute Must Have"2009-10-18
- Reviewed By User: A8KQBYYX7G73M
An off-shoe flash is one of the best investments you can buy for your SLR; before you consider anything else (battery grip, case, filters, bags) get yourself an off-camera flash. This will open up a new world of photography for you and really make your subjects pop.

Many amateur photographers will be wondering when to buy this or its more powerful big brother the Canon Speedlite 580EX II Flash for Canon EOS Digital SLR Cameras

There are few notable differences but for the novice, the 430EX is a great bargain. The 580 has:

1. Full rotating head.
2. Ability to attach a slave battery pack.
3. Acts as a master for other speedlites.
4. Is more powerful.
5. Has weather proofing.

However, if you are just starting out none of those things will matter to you because you'll spend your time getting familiar with shooting with flash; and should the time come for you to upgrade to the 580, the 430 can be used as a slave; so what's not to like?

The flash comes with a nice case, a stand and a manual. Highly recommended and an absolute bargain for the results you'll get.
