 best flash May 6, 2008
I have used this for about 6 months and its great. I pretty much have it attached all the time, even outdoors for fill in. Battery life is great, and the ability to tilt and rotate the flash is an excellent feature. I never need the built in flash anymore, and maybe one day Canon will offer some cameras with the built in flash perhaps? Like the kits without lenses? Anyway you will NOT regret this purchase!

This is a nice, affordable flash unit. I've got no complaints. The built-in wide angle cover is nice. Controls are simple; recycle time is good.
THE RIGHT OMNI BOUNCE FOR 430EX April 23, 2008

If you need a light diffuser for this flash and you're considering the Sto-Fen Omni-Bounce, keep in mind there are quite a few different OB models for different flash guns.
I've found the Omni-Bounce =MZ3= actually works with the 430EX. The MZ3 is marked for Nikon SB-28 & 28DX and Minolta 3500xi flash units, but it also fits the Canon 430EX quite well, in my case anyway. Highly recommended.
Meets and exceeds needs exactly for an intermediate Rebel XT user April 22, 2008
Bought for $240 at bhphotovideo.com
Great first flash, can be slave after buying next level up (ie- 580).
Biggest advantage for me: built-in focusing system (AF Assist Lamp), can pretty much focus in pitch black. Perfect for 350 users like me who only have a 7 point system which is horrible in low light.
- All the necessary functions plus manual (great simple start for beginners)
- Neat button layout
- Not too big or too heavy (like 580).
- Rotation is completely satisfactory.
- Powerful enough to fill most average sized rooms and even small churches from own experience.
- Decent refresh rate for most use.
Worth the money for those who are taking their hobby to the next level but can't spend a fortune.
My gear: Digital Rebel XT, 18-55mm f3.5-5.6, 50mm f1.8
And this flash complements it very well.
Great Flash April 17, 2008

An external flash is so important to good photographs and this one is great. I have a Canon 30D and my photos using the 430X are much better than the ones taken using the camera's built-in flash. This flash is easy to use and has lots of extras. I would highly recommend it.
