4.0 out of 5 stars Essential piece of kit for an EOS but not without its flaws, 13 Dec 2007
By D. Johnson "People's Geek" (North Yorkshire) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Let me say this, when this flash is doing what it does best, the results are fantastic. Thanks to the rather funky auto focus assist beam that comes out the front, this will focus in complete darkness. The white balance information passed to a compatible camera (all the new EOS D models) makes for well balanced shots, some of which it's hard to believe that a flash was used in the first place. Cycle times with new batteries are impressive
There are a few niggles though:
The rotating head swivels 180' in one direction but only 90' in the other. If you're into bouncing your flash, there are situations in which this can be limiting. Getting round it involves using the camera upside down, which is rarely practical. Surely this would have been an easy thing to implement.
The controls on the back are somewhat fiddly. Most of the time, you won't need to alter the controls off auto, but when you do, the left and right buttons are hard to press in because of the surrounding material. This is one place where the 580 really puts itself above this model; the rotating dial is far more user friendly.
Battery life isn't amazing. If you're using the flash on high power for an extended period, make sure you've got a spare set or are using lithium AAs. Lithiums really do take the worry out that you're going to run out of juice, at a price of course.

I've highlighted the negatives more here, but don't get me wrong, I am very glad I spent £160 on one of these new and I sing its praises when I get the shots I want. I've been amazed by the distance it will cover with my 200mm lens.
Further to the flash, I'd recommend the purchase of two accessories. In order, I'd suggest: a StoFen omni-bounce. For near work, especially when combined with bouncing, these really soften up the light for more flattering shots, especially portraits
Secondly, the off-camera shoe cord V3. This lets you bounce flash from wherever you like and gives that wonderful off-axis lighting effect. One thing to consider with it though, the Auto-Focus assist beam is a lot harder to aim manually than you think it's going to be holding it a foot above your head!

All in all, a great product that isn't beaten by its cheaper imitations.

5.0 out of 5 stars brilliant flash, 14 Aug 2007
Got a gig where i needed to take some promo pics on stage at a festival and needed a new flash badly, bought the 430ex and it served me proud. You need to read the instructions in full to get the best from the flash. Recharge was fast, exposure with my 400D was great and it only used 4 AA batteries all weekend! Cannot recommend enough go get it !

5.0 out of 5 stars Essential piece of kit, 2 Jan 2008
By John Milbank (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
A decent flashgun with full bounce is one of the best things you could buy for your SLR. I've used this for a couple of years with my EOS 20D, and wouldn't be without it.
Recycle rates and battery life are great, as long as you use the right batteries (try 7dayshop for their own brand 2500mAh cells - mine are still going strong after two years use with their own fast charger). The only thing I can really fault is that it is indeed a little fiddly to use the selection buttons, and yes, the 580 is better in this respect, but it's also more than double the price. At that price, you soon get used to it.
The one button control of the tilt and swivel is great compared to the older Canon models, and I've not found any circumstances where I've really suffered any limitations in the movement.
Having worked with plenty of pro kit, for the money, this is an excellent flashgun with a decent amount of power and plenty of good features.

As a component in a fully functioning lighting set-up it's almost perfect. Faults are few and don't worry about power, you will spend more time REDUCING the output than anything... Read more

I am now on my second one of these, slow recharge rate and low power, have now saved up up and will by the 580 ex II when it comes out as it is substantially better.
