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

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Not a bad buy, well worth the money.

First of all, I’ll say that in a year and a half this flash let me down 1 time - it just didn’t turn on and that’s it. But this one time I forgive her. Everything would be fine, but I compared it with Nikon's eight hundred . that flash has an additional stray - such a hitch for the fifth battery, with which the rate of fire (already rather big) increases much. It is a pity that we (Canon) do not have such things. The screen of the Nikon sb800 is much more informative and the settings are more detailed. True, I took my 430th for a little over 9 thousand, and therefore it is stupid to expect miracles for such a price.

Pros
  • Relatively simple, light and powerful. In principle - meets all the requirements.
Cons
  • 1. No battery indicator; 2. There is no regular diffuser-burdock; 3. In E-TTL in the head-back position (with a separately purchased burdock) on the device in M-mode, it does not always work adequately; 4. The battery door could be more serious; 5. There is no possibility of alternative food (see comment); 6. Responsiveness of buttons is not instantaneous.
