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

Revainrating 5 out of 5

A really necessary purchase, I'm glad I found this product.

Long thought to take Canon SpeedLite 430EX II, Nissin Di622 Mark II or YongNuo Speedlite YN-568EXII. The last two were frightened away by the fact that they quite often came across negative reviews in the sense that they often fail, there are even cases of breakdowns even after 100 puffs. I really did not want to risk a possible loss of money and an outbreak. After a conversation with a very professional photographer, he confirmed his decision to take the Canon SpeedLite 430EX II. He used it for many years and she never failed or refused him, and in his opinion and in the opinion of many photographers, it gives better light than the Canon Speedlite 580EX II, they noticed this more than once in joint photo shoots and reports, and in terms of reliability Canon Speedlite 580EX II is inferior, it is damp. Of course the Canon Speedlite 600EX-RT is far ahead of them all. The perfect model. 430EX II is really good, fully compatible with Canon, I really like the fact that it accurately illuminates the autofocus of the camera (the same YongNuo Speedlite YN-568EXII, according to all reviews, shines above the autofocus point of the device, which I also didn’t like right away). I have been using the flash for several months, I am very satisfied. works great. I really like the fact that in just a couple of seconds you can use it as a slave flash without any additional gadgets (I have 60D), you can highlight the object from the other side or just put it in the room pointing it at the ceiling and calmly shoot guests, friends, children at the table, highlighting a little built-in flash, removing shadows. Through the camera menu, you can adjust the flash intensity of both flashes and achieve excellent results. My advice, do not take risks, do not take third-party manufacturers, because if you pay even less money for them than for your native Canon and at the same time get more functionality, you risk being left without money and without a flash after even a short period of time. (For whom 5- 7 thousand is not a pity in this case, better take the Canon Speedlite 600EX-RT)

Pros
  • Reliability, compactness, quite strong and good build quality. It can be used as a slave without any synchronizers from the built-in flash of a camera of such models as 600D / 60D / 7D Who writes that it is flimsy, this is not a hammer or a shovel. For a flash, very high quality and reliable. For amateurs and novice pros, it is better not to find.
Cons
  • DO NOT WRITE THAT THERE IS NO BATTERY CHARGING INDICATOR, THERE IS NO SUCH INDICATOR ON EVEN THE MOST EXPENSIVE FLASH. I see only one drawback, and that is not significant. The head has a stroke of 90 gdadus clockwise, that is, coverage of 270 degrees, but this is not critical

In this model, only the speed of recharging attracts, which is important in work.
