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

Revainrating 4 out of 5

The product is okay, it's not a waste of money!

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 disadvantage. Of course, this is not a problem: a home-made one is literally made in 30 minutes and costs 30-50, and someone is content with a white A4 sheet (for me, this option seemed less convenient). And for me personally, the angle of rotation of the flash head in 270 degrees is not enough. I can't solve this problem yet. :)

Pros
  • Guide number, dimensions, weight, ease of use.
Cons
  • As can be seen from my comments, some of the shortcomings are relative: recessed buttons and the lack of indication of the charge of power sources, the lack of a business card. The angle of rotation of the flash head is not enough.
