Canon Speedlite 430EX II Flash for Canon Digital SLR Cameras

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 percent 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.”

User Ratings and Reviews

5 Stars Does the job
This flash is a dramatic improvement over the popup. If you don’t care about getting a flash that can act as a master then this is the best flash to get. It integrates well with newer canon cameras like the 50d. I would suggest getting two sets of rechargeable batteries, as it does use them up fairly fast.

5 Stars It’s a Canon Flash for my Canon SLR - Expect Great!
I have a canon SLR and wanted a better flash then the one on my camera.

Obviously this unit will be better than what is on my camera…and it is!

Look into buying the Gary Phong Diffuser to use with this. The combination is killer!

5 Stars Canon Flash
Excellent product. I do a lot of histoical photos. So this was a HUGE help.

5 Stars Outstanding Flash from Canon
This flash is a very necessary addition to the built in flash on the new Canon Rebel XSI. It is easy to stow in your bag and will really do the trick for you when the small built in flash will not. It works extremely well for beginner(me) and would also be great for any users that have more experience.

I am very satisfied and would recommend to anyone with one of the Digital Rebels.

5 Stars Nice features and very easy to use
This flash as a solid construction, full integration with my Digital Rebel XTi, very easy to use for starters just connect and ready in the auto mode. I’m very happy with this gift
