| Bringing a new level of versatility and capability to flash photography, the Speedlite 430EX II features a powerful flash (guide number of 141 ft./43m at ISO 100) with a fast recycling time in a compact, durable body. A one-touch quick-lock mechanism makes it easy to attach or detach the 430EX II from the camera and a metal foot has been added for strength and durability. Flash controls can now be set through the camera's LCD screen on compatible EOS Digital SLR cameras. The Speedlite 430EX II is also quieter, recycle time is 20 % faster (as compared to the 430EX) and since it is compatible with Canon's wireless E-TTL, it can be used as an affordable slave unit.

Comments about Canon 430 EX II Speedlite Flash:
I am learning to be a professional photographer. I have a Canon EOS Xsi and this flash is GREAT! I didn't even need to read the directions at ALL (even though I did read through it later just to learn all the buttons). I literally took the flash out of the box, put the batteries in, hooked it up to my camera, turned the flash on and started snapping photos. How easy is that?! AMAZING synchage (if that is a word). It makes my photos look SOOOO amazing and professional. BUY THIS FLASH! It is DEFINITELY worth the price
Pros
- Durable
- Fast Recycling
- Lightweight
- Versatile
Cons
- Not Interchangeable
Best Uses

Comments about Canon 430 EX II Speedlite Flash:
This flash is very quiet and recycles very quickly. My favorite option is that you can tweak the flash settings through the EOS camera menu screen and not have to mess with it on the flash led screen itself.
Pros
- Durable
- Easily Interchangeable
- Easy To Clean
- Lightweight
- Quiet
Cons
- Bulky
Best Uses
- Portraits
- Wedding/Event Photography
Comments about Canon 430 EX II Speedlite Flash:
This is my first big flash. I love how it makes things look much more natural! I have found the best way to use it is taking horizontal pictures and bouncing the flash off a white ceiling. The only thing I don't like is when I take vertical pictures, it sometimes messes up the picture by only providing light to one side.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
