Canon Speedlite 430EX Flash Light

From: $234.95

This exciting new addition to the EOS System combines compact size and affordability with an added dose of features and sophistication. Improving on the previous model, Speedlite 420EX, the new 430EX can now be set into manual flash mode (full power~1/64). Flash compensation can be set on the flash unit, and manual control of the flash zoom head is now possible. Improvements in its circuitry make recycle time 40% faster, and since it is compatible with Canon's wireless E-TTL, it can be used as an affordable "slave unit".

I purchased this flash to use during an anniversary party. It worked flawlessly and since then I have used it for all my indoor photos, and some outdoor as well. This is a HUGE improvement over the built-in flash and can be positioned to get just t

The 430EX is a great flash that is an incredible improvement over the built in flash of any model. I've used this flash several times with excellent results and great recycle time (until the batteries get low). Great experience with the...

I purchased this unit about 8 months ago from B & H as well as a Quantum battery pack and a Fong Lightsphere. Great Results always. The only down side with the 430(with an external battery pack) is that it uses the fake AA battery plug in that...

I bought the 430EX at the last minute since I was volunteered as a wedding photographer. It was fabulous and when in doubt, I just let it do its thing without human interference. It didn't eat batteries. (One set of lithium batteries covered...

I generally try to use a flash as little as possible. I love available light, but in a jam the 430EX is pretty nice to have. Minus the wireless triggering capability of the 580EX, I 430EX seems to pack the same punch. Its very easy to use,...

It works great. It does all that I need it to do while responding immediately, so I am hard pressed to miss those critical family pictures. For the price, you cannot go wrong in my book.

CANON???S MIDLINE SPEEDLITE 430EX ($260 street) replaces the comparatively limited 420EX flash, and dramatically raises the bar for amateur flash units. Distinguished as Canon???s first nonpro accessory flash dedicated to digital, the 430EX sends whi
