The Speedlite 430EX II incorporates a number of new features over the previous model. Recycle times have been reduced by approximately 20%, with the recycle process performed silently to minimise distraction. A new metal mounting foot with redesigned connection pins provides ultra-stable communication between the camera and flash; for rapid connection to the camera, a new quick release and locking mechanism is also incorporated.
Used in Manual mode, the Speedlite 430EX II offers settings in 1/3 stop increments for increased precision of operation. Plus – when used with compatible EOS cameras – every setting on the Speedlite 430EX II can be controlled via the camera menu system, allowing rapid, intuitive alteration of settings.

14|Oct|2008 9:00 pm 1I’ve found this flash an excellent all-round performer giving well-lit photos. It’s great for fill-in flash, great for lighting up the room and great for bouncing.
Pros:
- powerful and relatively compact compared to the larger 580EX
- ETTL and automatic zoom matches focal length of lens
- great battery life
- auto standby mode to save power
Cons:
- menu-driven controls can be slower to operate than mechanical controls
- no PC jack connection
- Flash head doesn’t swivel 180-degrees in both directions.
