 Highly Recommended for Novice Shooters June 23, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I received this the day before my wife's birthday party so I didn't have time to do practice shots with it. Being a brand new DSLR enthusiast (less than a month), I basically had to convince my wife that I know what I'm doing and I'm glad to say this flash didn't let me down. The wife was so happy with how the photos turned out that she immediately uploaded them to a popular website and ordered the prints. While there is still a lot to learn on how to effectively use the flash, you'll learn a lot of things while shooting. I didn't have enough time to read the manual but with only a few shots, I was able to quickly learn the basics. In comparing the photos I took using the on board flash vs. the Speedlite 430EX, the Speedlite's definitely came out much better. This thing lights up an entire room measuring about ~500 sq. ft with no problem. Just like everyone else, my favorite features are the tilt and swivel giving you a lot of flexibility in the way you light up your subject. As far as load times is concerned, I took about 250 pictures and the flash's load time was very fast the entire time on a freshly charged 2800 NiMH rechargeable batteries. Thanks Amazon for fast delivery!
The flash came securely packaged including a good quality case, Slave Flash Stand, user guide and registration card.
Shot with:
Canon Rebel XSi 450D w/ 18-55mm IS lens
Canon EF 70-300mm f/4-5.6 IS USM Lens
Great addition to my Rebel XTi set-up June 12, 2008
Fabulous flash. Love the swivel head and all the angles you can get for great lighting. A must have for any serious amateur photographer.
Great Flash June 9, 2008
I love this Flash. It's a great accessory for many Canon Digital SLR's including the EOS Rebel XTi I have. I like how I can rotate and position the flash for whatever direction I want to send the light. For my usage many times I needed to point the flash 45 degrees up, and the rotating head allowed me to maintain that 45 degree angle no matter if I held my camera normally or sideways. I would suggest all users invest in a diffuser though.
 Great right out of the box June 7, 2008
Note: this is a "first impression" review. I plan to update it with further experience later on.
I was a little worried that a hot shoe mounted flash would complicate shooting, but I felt that i needed a better flash due to my ever-expanding lens collection for my Rebel XT.
I opened the box, connected the flash, put some batteries in and turned it on. I hit up a book store with tons of books crowded all around, causing some very dark little aisles- a perfect location to test this sucker out. And it worked from the first shot on. Sure, there's a little bit of a learning curve with the movable head (which is really awesome and helps get that "just right" image). It can really do a lot of the work for you and the pictures look great (clearly an improvement over my rebel xt's pop-up flash). I'm never shooting indoors without this!
Good Buy June 6, 2008
