Product Description

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."

The items are great and delivery is on time, but be careful if you order them from Canada, you need to pay extra duty and tax that is more than 10% of the purchasing price.

I love this flash! It's powerful enough to light a subject for main light or subtle enough for fill light. The extra rechargeable batteries and car charger are also a lifesaver since the flash does use a lot of battery especial at its highest level but I would say you could do at least two to three sessions without needing to recharge (depending on the number of photos and level of power). All the functions are easy enough to figure out even without reading the manual but one thing though is to always make sure the flash is on before taking a shot since it does go to sleep after a couple of minutes. All in all its cheap for what your getting, not that heavy, works well, and is very useful. I do indeed recommend this product.

It arrived in time as promised. I was a little worried about the shape and condition of this item since it seems you get a deal and its alittle cheaper then other places. I was happy and have had no problems with it. It also comes with a case. for the flash so i saved some money there. Pleased with this product and happy i made the purchased..
