Canon Speedlite 430EX II Flash for Canon Digital SLR Cameras
April 6, 2009 by DigiBliss · Leave a Comment
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.”

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

5 Stars Excellent!
This is a great web cam. It has a high quality lens and does a great job with video tutorials. It also has some really cool special effect functions. This camera can lag a little on video if you don’t have an updated computer with the recommended specs and lots of RAM. Overall, I would highly recommend it.
5 Stars Great Camera! Easy to use and great quality picture
I bought this camera to use with Skype and replaced a Microsoft LifeCam which didn’t work well with Skype. This camera is very easy to install and use and provides awesome quality in even low light. I use it to show my parents their grandkids and they love it!
5 Stars Love it!
I purchased this webcam because it is one of the only notebook webcams with a 2 megapixel camera that I could find and because of the great price and good reviews. I am very pleased with my purchase. It was incredibly easy to setup. I like that it comes with the stand too. The picture is great. I use the camera to communicate with my brother-in-law who is currently stationed in Afghanistan and have not experienced any problems with image quality.
5 Stars Fine product, easy to use and excellent product
All products should be as easy to install and use.
Of all the products I bought and presently own, this is by far the best all around
5 Stars Best cam I’ve had so far
Sharp crisp pictures and movies. Flawless HD Skyping is possible. Sound is very good too no echos etc.

4 Stars Sanyo Xacti VPC-E2 Digital Camcorder
This is a cute camera to take on a road trip and you don’t have to worry about it getting wet because it’s waterproof. Just make sure you look at the directions when you charge the battery that it is in right and get a memory card.
4 Stars Great Camera!
Love it! Takes great pics, videos seem good quality. Need to get a back up battery so one is always charged. Haven’t used the camera underwater yet but as soon as the weather is warm enough we will have it in the pool! Easy enough for the kids to operate and play back.
4 Stars Good Value
Good value for the $175 price. I purchased the camera as a birthday gift. The video quality is better than my 3+ year old Xacti C5. The photos are decent, but still not as good as most other digital still cameras, especially in low-light. The waterproof shell, however, makes the camera much larger that previous Xacti cameras, but it is still relatively small. While the video is only 640×480 and HD would be preferred, the HD Xacti cameras cost a lot more.
I have only tried the underwater capabilities in the sink, but I can’t wait for the summer to take it to the beach and in the water.
4 Stars Xacti VPC-E2
This is a compact and durable, extremely easy to operate, do almost everything camera. It takes great stills and good outdoor movies. I was disappointed a bit with the indoor movies.
It works underwater and is sealed to resist dust, sand, high humidity.
It interfaces flawlessly with PC. With the Mac, I sometimes have connectivity problems and need to remove the SD card to upload the photos and movies. Overall, I would recommend the camera. It does fit in my shirt pocket..
4 Stars Really good for active people who want to make movies with their computer..
Just perfect for me. I was aware of it’s downsides such as short battery life( just buy a 2nd, they’re cheap), no lens cover and very average picture quality. However for the price, I could overlook those issues. It is well built,easy to use. the SD format makes it simple to upload to your computer. The camera also came with Adobe Premiere Elements 4.0 editing software that is great for the average Joe. I use it mainly to shoot ski footage, as the waterproof aspects of the camera allow me to use it in wet weather(just keep lens covered)I’ve had it for a month and so far so good.

5 Stars Just recently purchased this item.
Good solid item. I like the retractable head. I also followed the steps in deleting the extra mounting program through their website and got my 15.1MB of space. There is a light that is solid orange when it is plugged in, and blinks when in use (saving programs and stuff). It also blinks every few seconds as it’s plugged in to give awareness I guess to the user that it’s still plugged in. Overall I like the product, I wish the key chain holder was a tad more sturdier, but other than that, good product.
5 Stars SWEEEEEET!
this is a sweet little jump drive. lotsa capacity is really nice to be able to carry around in ur pocket. 
5 Stars SanDisk 16gb USB Flash Drive 2.0
This is the best flash drive I’ve used so far. It gives me an unbelievable amount of space with an amazing price.
5 Stars Good deal
works as expected, I’m just surprised how much space is taken by the file system. For a 16gb device there’s only 14.8 gb available. I would have expected 15.5 gb at least, but truthfully for the price it’s still well worth it
5 Stars Sandisk Flash Drive
The product arrived when expected and functions as it should. I am very satisfied with my purchase. Very handy to take a program with you to another computer.
