I have now used Canon 430 EX in many diffrent shoots. There is nothing you can not do with this. from Amazon.com This is a great flash but has a few unfortunate shortcomings. 1.) the fact that it cannot act as a master with another 430EX (or previous version) is EXTREMELY disappointing. from Amazon.com I am a new to photography and I am glad I went for this flash. This flash has the power and extra features to grow with. from Amazon.com i was happy when i bought it it's fast and light, then i started shooting more and more and needed one more flash so i bought a 550ex older generation, slower but what a light, so this become m back up or second light source. if you can buy the 580ex II or 580ex and as a chepper way out 550ex for a better lighting source, this is a great item to carry arround or as a secnd flash. from Amazon.com I have a Canon Xti Rebel ... and needed a good flash for it ... from Amazon.com Oh my my do I love this flash! I wish I knew more about how to use it but as a beginner photography addict I have messed up enough photos to get it right. from Amazon.com In a hunt to find a bargain Canon flash, buying an older model 430 EX was my only option. The flash is great- smooth swivel and easy to use manual and TTL functions. from Amazon.com Great flash and very fast. No more waiting for your flash to charge again. from Amazon.com What a great addition to my kit. The most important item to me is the zoom feature, and the fact that it can be driven via remote. I would recommend this to anyone who is looking to pickup a nice prosumer dedicated flash. from Amazon.com I've used both the 430EX and 580EX, but I own the 430EX. The 430 is a great flash, actually, but if you are a pro, shell out the extra clams for the 580; It has more options, stronger flash, and a faster recycle time. from Amazon.com
