Peter, Merseyside & Nigeria , “Keen amature improving continually”

+ I have just used this flash for a wedding and I took over 100 indoor shots, the speed of flash, power and recuperation period was excellent. The two batteries exceeded the time needed.
Like the 180 degree swivel also the built in defuser. Range was very good up to 20 foot and all well illuminated.
Interphase with the Cannon my new 40D was fantastic and simple. Highly recomended.

- Would like to see in future the capacity to recharge or perhaps runn off a spare battery as with the EOS 40D. Its messy carrying batteries arround so a solution is to this would be prefered.

Manufacturer's Description

Replacing the Canon Speedlite 430EX, the Speedlite 430EX II offers fast, silent recycling and full control via the menu system of compatible EOS cameras. It is ideal for both amateurs and professionals seeking a versatile, all-purpose flash.

New features

For maximum flexibility and ease of use, the Speedlite 430EX II incorporates a number of new features. Recycle times have been reduced by approximately 20%, with the recycle process performed silently to minimise distraction. A new metal mounting foot with redesigned connection pins provides ultra-stable communication between the camera and flash; for rapid connection to the camera, a new quick release and locking mechanism is also incorporated.
Used in Manual mode, the Speedlite 430EX II offers settings in 1/3 stop increments for increased precision of operation. Plus – when used with compatible EOS cameras – every setting on the Speedlite 430EX II can be controlled via the camera menu system, allowing rapid, intuitive alteration of settings.

System flash

The Speedlite 430EX II is a key component of the integrated flash system for both analogue and digital cameras, and is fully compatible with the distance-linked E-TTL II system found on recent EOS cameras. It can also be used as a slave unit when combined with a master unit in a wireless flash setup.
