This is the first flash bought bye me and I feel it gets the job done. This was worth every penny and does make a difference in the quality of my photos. This is not the strongest flash canon has to offer but in my opion I could not amagin needing anything more powerful. I am going to buy a new camera just to use all the features of the flash. The only reason I did not give it five stars you do have to read the book to operate all the fuctions of the flash, however after reading the booklet it does not take that long to get the hang of this flash. I think canon could do a better job in writting their product guide.

1.0 out of 5 stars Trouble with the charger/batteries, August 2, 2007

I got this set today, but I can't comment on the flash yet, since the charger failed to charge the batteries (some 10 hours). I suspect the charger is faulty, since the LEDs do not come fully on. You might be better off getting the flash and buying charger/batteries that you trust.

Update: It seems the batteries are at fault, so far I have been able to take two pictures before the flash died. I am going to get a new set of rechargable batteries tomorrow morning and try again. :(

I've only played with the 430EX a few times since I recieved it, and have no complaints. Refresh times and ease of use make this an alright choice for me.
