O Flash Canon Speedlite 430EX II é o flash com montagem de sapata de médio alcance da Canon que oferece muitos dos mesmos recursos avançados de seu irmão maior, o 580EX II. Ele foi projetado para suportar completamente toda a gama de câmeras digitais SLR Canon série G.
O Flash Speedlite 430EX II é compatível com a mais recente tecnologia de exposição automática E-TTL II (Avaliativa Através da Lente) da Canon. Quando combinado com uma câmera Canon compatível e lente compatível, o E-TTL II utiliza a distância do assunto e outras informações que modificam automaticamente a potência de flash, resultando em exposição precisa de flash independente do tamanho do assunto, reflexo ou composição fotográfica. É excelente para fotógrafos que fotografam assuntos de alto contraste ou com muito reflexo, como os encontrados em fotografia de casamento. Os fotógrafos podem capturar todos os detalhes desde o preto do smoking até o branco de sorrisos largos e do vestido de casamento.
A cabeça de rebatimento totalmente giratória faz o zoom automaticamente na faixa de 24mm-105mm. Sua compatibilidade com E-TTL II sem fio permite funcionar como uma unidade escrava, disparada por uma 580EX, ST-E2 ou MR-14EX. Qualquer número de Speedlites 430EX e 550EX pode ser combinado como unidades escravas para efeitos criativos.
O Speedlite 430EX também transfere automaticamente para modelos recentes de câmeras SLR digitais. A câmera então define o melhor ajuste de balanço de branco para o flash. Esse recurso funciona quando o modo de balanço de branco da câmera estiver definido para AWB (Balanço de Branco Automático) ou Balanço de Branco de Flash.

I am very pleased with my 430. After doing my own research i decided that i would be better off with the 430 over the 580 as my first external flash. I had a borrowed 580 for the first week of ownership with the 430 and did extensive comparison and dual flash experimentation. As well as two jobs; engagement photos and a dinner party.
The 430 is clearly not as powerful as the 580 and this is noticeable when bouncing light off a distant ceiling or in overly large rooms. (That is not say that the 430 is weak because it's not! It's just that the 580 is very powerful.) I was shooting a dinner party in a large stone mansion that was very dark. The photos with the 430 were a bit dimmer than those taken with the 580. The comparison photos were all using indirect lighting; i had the flashes pointed up to reflect the light off the ceiling. So if i were to do a lot of this type of shooting i would want the 580 but since i don't i cannot justify the expense. The only other significant difference between the two flashes for me is the wireless capabilities.
The 430 is a wireless slave only. But since i had a borrowed 580, which is capable of wireless slave and master, i had to try out the wireless capabilities. In less than 45 seconds i had figured out how to set the 430 as a slave and was taking two flash photo's within a minute after deciding to try it!
Also, i should note the durability of the 430. I neglected to lock it onto a tripod when using as a second flash and it took about a four foot tumble landing right on the head on ice and it continues to work just fine!
I also find the weight difference between the 430 & 580 to be surprising. The 580 is downright heavy. Even when i had both to use for a week i preferred the 430 most of the time just for the weight.
Like any speed light the 430 is prone to washing out when pointed directly forward if the subject is too close. I plan to try out some of the after market defusers for this. But for now, i generally point it up and use indirect lighting.
As many have said before me, the 430 is a great starter flash; powerful, easy to use and a bit less expensive than the 580. If/when the time comes that i require a 580 for certain tasks the 430 will probably remain the primary flash for general purpose. It is lighter and powerful enough for most situations. I should also mention that E-TTL II rocks! If you don't know what that is read about it before you buy any flash. The 430EX-II is a great flash that should not be underestimated.

Bought it along with 7D as it has wireless transmitter, thus no need for 580ex.
Everything works as expected, besides the white wall test. On wider zooms (27-50 equiv) it is very uneven, compare to Sigma 500 DG; has significant fallout on sides and shoots higher, thus at distances < 10 feet bottom of the frame is getting significant and sharp fallout too.
Diffuser helps, but what is the point?
Tested with 7D and EFs 17-55 f/2.8 lens.

Using with the Canon EOS 5D Mk II. Meshes well with LCD display for custom function settings. Very close match to 5800 daylight spectrum down to 430 nm.

This is a great product for someone that is just starting out or an amateur. It is easy to use and understand. It's a great deal for the money if you can't splurge on the 580 exii.

I already have a 580EX II and 430EX and I use the infra-red remote TTL between them often, and I wanted a 3rd. I like that the 430 EX II is quieter than the original. Last year my old 430EX survived a fall off my car roof just fine (driving away, doh!), so it's a solid product. I'm also looking at the Pocket Wizard TT5, which I hear does better with the 430EX II than the orignal.

Indoor shots, portraits and in low light conditions.I bought this light because the cost was within my budget. I am not a professional so this light covers all of my needs, I could not see needing the 580EX II and it cost quite a bit more. I did buy the off camera flash cord and a diffuser and use them for some great lighting effects.

This is my first external flash for my EOS Rebel T1i. Very easy to use and and learning a lot about use of external flash. Adds a little bit of weight to camera but feels very solid. Have also purchased a wireless trigger but still to try it out.

Great flash. Made a huge difference in product over the pop up flash. After researching the different options this is perfect for me and am very happy with purchase. I will buy another for remote/slave operation when I am ready.

I needed a flash that was more than what my dslr camera came with and I read reviews of a lot of different ones. For the price this is a great flash for a beginner or as a backup. Has wireless capabilities and is just one step down from the more expensive 580EXII. It has a fairly fast recycling rate. I am very glad I bought this flash.

I usually do outdoor photography (landscape, wildlife), but since I had my daughter, there has been a need for indoor photography. I bought this flash on-sale and it was worth every penny. I have been experimenting with bouncing the flash and even using the flash outside with great results.

Not too small, not too large, [i.e. 580 EX II], just right for the T3i. High end features, and performance just slightly less than than Canon's top-of-the-line flash. Improved recycle performance over predecesor 430 EX.

I had recently bought the Canon 5D for weddings and family portrait however i noticed that i was getting better results with my digital camera. I knew it had to be because there's not flash on the 5DII, and evidently after havign purchased the canon 430EX II my problem was solved. my pictures are now coming out so much sharper and clean than before even in low light situations.
Best purchase i made for my camera!!
Thanks BH

This is a very easy to use, but also very powerful flash. It will give you great shot after great shot in low light conditions. You can forget about white-faced subjects in indoor shots. With this flash, your pictures will have warm tones and great colors. It focuses very fast also, without test-flashing. If you want to improve your indoor and low-light shots, this is a no-brainer.
