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

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Perfect purchase for me, exactly what I was looking for!

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 - without any possibility of attaching to a belt or bag! It sits very comfortably in the nest - even the light 500D does not tip over on the table or roll over on the neck. The control buttons are recessed, but most of the parameters can be set from the camera. Sometimes you want a reflector (instead of which there is a 14 mm wide-angle panel), but in principle, you can adapt without it. If you choose an unprofessional and good flash, take it better, not 580 yu (it is noticeably larger and heavier), although, I repeat, the price could be lower

Pros
  • Swivel head, camera controllable, high flash output, automatic beam width adjustment, secure fit
Cons
  • The price could have been lower. Constantly goes into sleep mode. The movable head is not fixed in the range of 0-45 degrees.

out" the buttons are not very convenient, especially when shooting actively.
