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

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Satisfactory product quality, good price.

Used with 50D for reportage shooting. Whether you are a hobbyist or an aspiring professional, this flash is for you. She saved me many times, but sometimes she let me down. Shoot in RAW. This will allow the frame to be pulled out if the flash does not fire. And this happens if you shoot in series. Look sometimes. If she misses a puff, give her a second to rest. But the discharge of the battery can not be noticed even by weakened pulses. Carry spares with you just in case. Always enough for ~400 puffs (4x2800). Further, as luck would have it. Excellent value for money. Ideal for those who like to take pictures at a leisurely pace.

Pros
  • + Spinning head in all directions + Does not eat a lot of batteries + Diffuser (and thanks for that) + Sometimes can even withstand fast bursts + Doesn't get very hot + Not very heavy and big + Price (took for 7500) + Noticeable overall picture improvement + Automatic does a good job + Control from the camera
Cons
  • - I didn’t really like the assembly, it has been playing in the 50D socket since the moment of purchase (I checked several samples). Caught her a couple of times - Can't be a leader - Not very powerful - No card as in the older model - Inconvenient buttons (Although not really needed) - After the episodes it becomes very warm (already scary) - No charging indicator - Not very user friendly menu - Sometimes skips puffs, which can cost the loss of important frames - Backlash after a year of use - Perversions with a homemade reflector - Does not work remotely from the camera
