Enhance Your Canon DSLR Experience with the Canon Speedlite 430EX II Flash - White Box, New! Review

The cost of Flash is well justified. Although the recessed exposure and pulse power buttons can be adjusted to, the manufacturer undoubtedly should have made them more user-friendly at the design stage. By obtaining a second set of batteries, the issue of the absence of an indication of the charge of the power sources was successfully resolved. Someone who spends a significant amount of time photographing should still have more than one set of power sources with them at all times. A further…

the most reliable for the money, but less reliable and cheaper but higher in power, so this is a compromise. Flash for a score of 5 should not have to compromise. If you turn back the time, I would compare it with the Yangnow 580 before buying. but it’s quite possible, I wouldn’t like it either, I don’t know))) but it also has TTL-II (this is very important). In any case, I'm happy with the flash. I made a white Velcro card myself.

Spent money on it and never regretted it. After acme 138 it is heaven and earth. It works great in automatic mode. Not heavy. Holds on the camera, holds the reflector. Works great with my 500D. It rarely happens that there is not enough power in a series of shots when the ceiling is high. But it is compact and lightweight. Take it, you won't regret it. Pros: Excellent metering, stable operation, high speed, reliable. Works like a fairy tale in automatic mode Has cons: Buttons for exposure…

At first I liked the quality, but after half a year the overheating really got sick, for this money it’s better to buy a more serious flash from third-party manufacturers, but there will be jambs in assembly and quality of materials. If you need a serious, normal tool - only top canon models Some pros: Build quality and small size, easy and understandable to operate Some cons: Only for leisurely work! Or as a spare flash. Constantly overheats, after a very short work, it starts to shoot every…

Good, comfortable, functional. Although now, probably, you can take a Chinese one with similar functionality and comparable quality for twice as little money. Got pros: I've been using it occasionally for two years 1. Adequate operation in E-TTL mode. Controlled by remote built-in flash from 650D and 70D cameras 2. Fairly clear control, if you read the instructions. Convenient to use 3. Not yet broken. Probably more reliable With its cons. 1. Cannot be a leader. But, on the other hand, if it

It seems that she does not have time to charge, and then does not puff due to overheating. It runs on batteries, they infect it faster than alkaline batteries. In general, I have something to compare with - my old 380EX did not suffer from such weaknesses. It is a pity that it is only E-TTL1, I had to change it to 430EX. Got pros: The flash is like a flash, puffs normally, there is enough power for reflected light. But flash is not without flaws! - I would especially like to note the…

Decent puff, suitable for both amateurs and not very whimsical pros;) I don't have any problems with wedding photography. If there is no desire to buy all sorts of Chinese "samyangs" or whatever they are, but you either feel sorry for 580-600 or have no money - this puff is for you. And she will never let you down! Verified :) Its pros: - Pretty powerful; - Reliable - has never failed; - E-TTL II - for me it's just not replaceable!) Has cons: - backlash; - there is no battery charge…

She worked for 4 years in intensive mode. The last year was mainly in manual mode 1\64 power. It stopped turning on. The display lights up for 1 second and goes out. Before this "flash", other Canon models worked until the light bulb burned out. With its pros. suitable for professional work at weddings in schools, etc. Quite compact and inexpensive compared to older models. With its cons. Due to poor contact in the camera socket, it sometimes "puffs" at full power. For this reason, I ruined…

Tried a few Chinese flashes before. When buying, I first looked at more powerful Chinese counterparts, but . But I decided to take the "native" from Canon. Only with Canon cameras are Canon flashes perfectly synchronized. Namely, for creative work. Let's not forget about the developed customer service (read the reviews of the owners of flashes from third-party manufacturers, there are complaints about the lack of spare parts).

What can I say . An excellent unit, the amateur's requests are 200% satisfied. Filmed in reflected light - evenly lit subject and background, correct white balance. With fresh batteries, it turns out to shoot in a series. when shooting "head on", the result is no better than from the built-in puff, but that's not why I bought an external puff to shoot on the forehead))

I bought a flash in 2022, 7 years have passed and today it died with me during this time, it went through fire and water with me, fell from 2 meters high, was used in a report and never let me down and was never under repair for this time, I used Chinese flashes Falcon Eyes X-Flash 580II and they did not last even a year as they burned out. So I consider it a bargain, if you do not want to buy a new flash every year, I advise you to purchase the original one.

A lot has been written about her here, I will tell you my feelings: 1. The buttons are recessed - well, there is a little, but this does not interfere with its work in any way, if you poke with your thumb, then of course it may not be convenient, but I have no problems with this. 2. The absence of a battery charge indicator - and where did you see that any device would show the charge of a conventional battery, they (batteries) do not have an additional sensor and contact to determine the…

The main advantages of the flash include its weight, dimensions and battery life, which makes the Canon Speedlite 430EX II an indispensable assistant in the work. When buying this model, the bets were made precisely as an additional, external source of pulsed light - backlight, complementary and auxiliary. Infrared flash control using the ST-E2 transmitter allows you to adjust the power and adjust the pulse strength relative to the drawing source (580EX II) in the right direction, which cannot…

After the built-in flash - just great shots. A high guide number allows you to get rid of unwanted shadows even when shooting in reflections in rooms with a high ceiling. After experimenting with white balance, I came to the conclusion that it is best to set "Sunny" (or shoot in RAW) when shooting with flash. Quickly drains batteries, 2700 mAh GP is enough for 50 shots, and there is no charge indicator and you will find out about the failure of the flash after shooting. Comes with a cloth case…

I am delighted! Head into the wall or ceiling - and cheers! (slightly increasing the compensation) Great shots. I turn off the stabilizer - I don't need it and the "soapiness" of the image has completely disappeared, the sharpness hurts the eye and this cannot but rejoice. The auto white balance stopped lying, the flash transmits the correct information about the color temperature after firing, the power is good (just enough for a room with a ceiling height of 10-15 meters), I use German Ansman

Satisfied with the device. Sometimes it does not have time to charge, sometimes there is not enough power - but this is rare and not critical. On the model I bought, there are no backlash squeaks. I consider it the best and sufficient replacement for the built-in flash on those DSLR models where it is. Convenient and practical for reportage shooting. I recommend having a diffuser or a "travel card with an elastic band" in the kit. I plan to buy a Canon Macro Twin Lite MT-24 EX in the near…

Passing puffs was only a couple of times. I think because my flash "moves out" from the shoe. The clamping mechanism is not happy. It could be done like most of the brothers - twisting. Although this one is convenient in that the flash can be quickly attached to the device. Unfortunately less reliable. Well, the buttons are not very convenient, especially when shooting actively.

Flash is worth the money. The recessed exposure/pulse power buttons can be adjusted to, although of course the manufacturer should have made them more convenient at the design stage. The problem of the lack of indication of the charge of power sources was solved by purchasing a second set of batteries. Still, who is more or less engaged in photography should have more than one set of power sources with him. Some also attribute the lack of a business card reflector to the flash as a…

Thanks to products such as the Canon Speedlite 430EX II, you understand where the expression "Japanese quality" comes from. Made flawlessly and with the expectation that the device served its owner for many, many years. I do not work in the marketing department of Canon 2022, I am not a sales manager for photographic equipment and no one pays me for advertising, but I am ready to praise this technique with a capital "t" on every corner!

After a year of using the flash, the head began to shake, the build quality is disgusting, there is something to compare with, in addition to it, there are Canon 600EX-RT and Yongnuo YN-568 EX II TTL on hand, so, for the money that they ask for it, it’s better to buy Yongnuo (2022 are still left for three sets of good batteries from Sanyo), it is practically not inferior to the top-end Canon flash, excellent assembly (everything except the battery compartment), guide number 58, all the…
