    Canon 430 Speedlite

    Always used the Canon flashes and have never been disappointed. The 430EX follows the trend. Although is it a bit pricey, it does deliver and gives me flash my 70D built-in flash can't come close to. I caught it on sale making the purchase a little easier. And use rechargeable batteries. I'm using NiMH batteries I already had and getting good results.

    This product is excellent. I actually returned it because I decided to get a cheap knock-off (which actually works great, too), but if you'd like the real thing, this works well.

    This was the best flash i ever laid my hands on. Very easy to use. And is compatible with pretty much all the cameras i had. It definitely has an amazing reputation for good reason.

    I purchased this for use with a Canon 6D which is a low light camera. This flash took the pictures from dark and interesting to amazing, professional grade pictures

    This flash has been upgraded but very few will find it lacking for what they need. Go with the better price on this than going full retail up upgraded new model.

    I am a just a hobbyist photographer and was tired of using the on camera flash. This flash is easy to use and works great. I haven't even began to scratch the surface of the features of this flash but in the basic events that I have shot it has worked excellently. Depending on the batteries you choose to use the flash definitely adds a substantial amount of weight to the camera. It's a great flash for amature shooters.

    I'm an over the road professional truck driver and did my first pro shoot for cooldude at Gerald Jones Honda/ Subaru/ Toyota. The car I bought was a used pilot n showed Richard ( dude who sold me the car) pics from different shot's I had with me.One thing led to another n I'm back at the dealership doing a shoot. Weather wasn't on our side on the shot's so did some shooting in the showroom. Thirty post card's later n shooting for a few friends here we are.the equipment helps you sell.feel n follow your idea of the subject take your time n the rest falls into place.

    Must-have accessory for Canon Powershot SX60

    I got this hotshoe flash for my Canon Powershot SX60 (see my review). The performance of that in dim lighting is mediocre at best. Although the built-in flash was OK for simple indoor shots, this powerful external flash allows high-speed outdoor daylight nature shots. I don't use ETTL or off-camera mounts, can't comment on that. In manual mode the flash speed goes from 1/64 to 1/1 in powers of 2, with power from -0.7 to +0.7. At close range can freeze action beyond what the shutter speed will do. The Bower Flash Diffuser SFD03 rounds this out.

    Very happy with family photo results using this flash. Not professional grade but more than satisfactory for people who want clear, concise photos.

    Works well and great reach. I have used other flashes that were supposed to comparable. This is far better. Glad I purchase the Canon 430
