 excelent value March 17, 2007
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
I was turned off to using handheld flash years ago by the weak off color light that would be put off by the flash units, I had also tried a few newer non-canon brands and was disappointed by these budget knockoff units. i was leary of spending this much on a flash as I had become so used to shooting without. This unit made a world of difference in certain shots, especially when taking portraits and candids outside a studio. Overall this has been a great investment and good value even though it costs more than a cheap sigma unit.
 Great flash might buy more March 3, 2007

this is an amazing flash i have yet to be not impressed by what this flash can do. it's a little complicated to use when you first use it but it's easy to get used to. there are a few draw backs, the flash eats batteries and the longer you use it the longer it takes for it to recycle, it's great if you don't need fast recycling time.

I bought a Canon 30D with a 24-105 L IS and slid my older 420EX on it. It was like the two had a mind of their own...pictures were hit or miss. Bought the 430EX, read that it communicated better. It is so very good. No matter what I do, the pictures are excellant. I tried it at the normal sync and then on high sync.....I took a picture at 1/8000 on Tv and it was perfect. If you have a newer EOS, put a 430 on it unless you have reason for the big guy, the 580ex. Get the most out of your system.
A terrific flash and a great price-performer. February 19, 2007

I bought the Canon EX430 just over two weeks ago. Have been using it and love it. Here's my take on this flash unit:
PRO:
1. Excellent function in fully automatic mode. Abundant manual features, almost too many.
2. Flash head tilt and rotates, very convenient for bounce flash.
3. Looks good and well-built. Included case is very good.
4. More than enough for my needs in terms of flash power.
5. Not excessively heavy nor big, though not a light-weight either.
6. The Built-in wide-angle diffuser is neat.
CON:
None; flash recycle time is not the fastest but not an issue for my type of photography. It can go through batteries fast, but with such a powerful flash I guess battery usage comes with the territory.
I have older E and EZ series flash units. The 430EX is simply so much better. In my opinion, if anyone needs just one flash and doesn't want to have too much bulk or weight, then this will be the one to get. If anyone is thinking about getting a flash for Canon cameras, then one should take a very close look at this one. It will open up a great deal of possibilities in taking picture or improving picture quality for you.
Highly recommended.
