Digital camera reviews of Canon 430EX Speedlite Flash for Canon Pro1, Pro 90, G Series and all EOS SLR Cameras

Digital camera Review: Highly Recommended for Novice Shooters
Summary: 5 Stars

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.

Summary of Canon 430EX Speedlite Flash for Canon Pro1, Pro 90, G Series and all EOS SLR Cameras

This exciting new addition to the EOS System combines compact size and affordability with an added dose of features and sophistication. Improving on the previous model, Speedlite 420EX, the new 430EX can now be set into manual flash mode (full power~1/64). Flash compensation can be set on the flash unit, and manual control of the flash zoom head is now possible. Improvements in its circuitry make recycle time 40% faster, and since it is compatible with Canon's wireless E-TTL, it can be used as an affordable "slave unit."
