Product: Canon Speedlite 430EX II Flash
Bought to work with my Canon 50D I have been very impressed with this Speedlite right from the first shot. It integrates with the cameras own controls via the rear screen so it is easy to control both the camera and the flash together.
Recycle time is good and I have had no problems with taking multiple shots on one set of NiMH batteries.
The quality of the photos really takes a jump when this flash is used off camera via a separate synch cord and some form of diffuser.
It also works well as a slave with one of the larger Canon Speedlites 580/600 etc. I have synched mine with an old Vivitar 283 I have had for 20+ years - works well in manual mode via an optical trigger, but not in ETTL.
The only downside I can see is the likelihood of buying just a few more accessories .....
