When you need to put some more light on the subject, reach for Canon’s 430EX II. As the successor to the hugely successful Canon 430EX, the 430EX II offers a new level of versatility and capability at an affordable price. This capable unit is compatible with all Canon EOS cameras and Power Shot G Series.

The 430EX II delivers approximately 20% faster recycling time, compared to the 430EX, while keeping the same compact size. The LCD’s focal length display can indicate 24mm, 28mm, 35mm, 50mm, 70mm, 80mm, and 105mm zoom positions.

With a powerful guide number of 141/43 (ISO 100, feet/meters), the 430EX II is able to easily fill the area with sufficient light for some really impressive shots. The flash’s compatibility with Canon's wireless E-TTL makes it an affordable slave unit as well.

dink 9/6/2012 7:15:20 AM Tech Level: 5/5 Ownership: 2/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 1/5very frustrated Pros: It shoots out light.... Cons: Did not find it easy to use, I found using the next higher 580 flash worked much better. Other Thoughts: Used it first time for a wedding recycling slow, and ate through 2 packs of batteries in 1 hr. I use to use Nikon and the Sb 600 was awesome 0 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!

Bacakdin1 6/23/2011 5:50:16 PM Tech Level: 4/5 Ownership: 2/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 5/5Great Flash Pros: Great Flash unit, and with my Canon D60 it has wireless sync built in. I was able to use the unit off camera. Cons: None, other then extra weight. Other Thoughts: Was able to take 6 pix in a row with the flash still flashing. 3 out of 3 people found this review helpful.

Johnny 2/14/2011 1:41:53 AM Tech Level: 4/5 Ownership: 4/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 5/5Nicely integrated with the Canon 60D Pros: Put this on a compatible Canon camera and it does much of the work for you. Cons: It works and does what it says it would. Of course I wish that it worked the way the Canon Speedlite 580x EX II for about one tenth the price (or better yet, FREE) but then that would make me a liberal - which I am not. 3 out of 8 people found this review helpful.

MoreThanNovice 1/8/2011 12:01:21 AM Tech Level: 4/5 Ownership: 4/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 5/5Excellent Flash Pros: Noiseless and fast recharge, great build quality and range. One of the best feature is that in low light it will automatically emit a focus-assist beam. That will make Focusing in low light fast and accurate. It can be in total darkness and still be able to focus (within reasonable distance like a room). Battery life is excellent. I also like the quick secure/release button instead of the old style knob that you had to twist around many times. Cons: Price, but i knew this before purchase :( Other Thoughts: This a great flash. I borrowed a 3rd party flash first, than decided not to waste any money on equipment that will not keep up, nor last long, so i went with Canon. This seems to be able to keep up and give me constant results. I'd recommend a lightsphere diffuser with this. It gives great results!!! 5 out of 5 people found this review helpful. Did you?

jon d 12/13/2010 8:40:09 PM Tech Level: 3/5 Ownership: 4/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 5/5great device Pros: Very simple to use product. Great quality and can't beat the price. Get everything you need with this. Of course it's not the 580 but it has yet to let me down. Speed is great, accurate lighting, no complaints. Definately a must for portraits and indoors photos (stock popup flash does so little in comparison). Cons: None. Other Thoughts: Overall this is a nice balance between power and size (including weight). Would recommend this product to any photography enthusiast. Worth the canon premium. 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
Old Photo 12/8/2010 7:06:21 PM Tech Level: 4/5 Ownership: 5/5	Rating: 5/5Superb Flash Attachment Pros: Gentle flash, Full illumination, Easy to use, Fast recharge, Interfaces perfectly with EOS Cons: Very wide angle coverage Other Thoughts: I began in the flash bulb era, then graduated to semi-auto electronic flash. The Speedlite 430 EX II is so good that all I could do when I saw the results was smile. 2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
