Editorial Review:Product Description:This exciting new addition to the EOS System combines compact size and affordability with an added dose of features and sophistication. Improving on the previous model, Speedlite 420EX, the new 430EX can now be set into manual flash mode (full power~1/64). Flash compensation can be set on the flash unit, and manual control of the flash zoom head is now possible. Improvements in its circuitry make recycle time 40% faster, and since it is compatible with Canon's wireless E-TTL, it can be used as an affordable 'slave unit'. Wide-angle pull-down panel covers 14mm lens (on a full-frame camera) Zoom positions - 24mm, 28mm, 35mm, 50mm, 70mm, 80mm, 105mm; Indicated by numerals on the LCD's focal length display Image Size Zoom Control - With cameras compatible with auto zoom, it zooms automatically to match the camera's image size Guide Number 141 ft./43m (at ISO 100); flash head at 105mm zoom setting Auto conversion of flash zoom coverage with compatible digital SLRs White balance info communicated instantly to compatible digital SLRs Bounce upward to 90 degrees; swivel right (to 90 degrees) and left (to 180 degrees) 14% lighter and approx. 25% smaller in overall volume than top-of-the-line 580EX Six flash custom functions built into the 430EX (set on rear LCD panel) Power Source - Four AA-size Alkaline Batteries (6V) or Four AA-size NiMH Rechargeable (4.8V) - both not included Unit Dimensions - 2.8 x 4.8 x 4.0 in./72 x 122 x 101mm / Weight - 11.6 oz./330g (without batteries)

Flash
Works great. Eats batteries, but so does every other flash. Make sure you use rechargeables.

great results and return on this investment
.- indoor shots will be fantastic compared to built-in flash.
.- be sure to turn OFF red-eye reduction on rebelXT (350) as it will not be needed anymore
.- intergrates beautifully with the XT and both the 50MM ef and the tamron 17-55 lenses
this single addition improved my indoor results tremendously

Much more powerful than the pop-up. Much more empowering -- ie. so much more creative control. Must-have addition to your SLR.

El flash tiene una respuesta en tiempo excelente, y su integración con la XTi es fabulosa. En todas sus configuraciones el flash se comporta muy bien. La única limitación es que solo tiene modo esclavo.
Pero recomiendo su compra , Cliente Feliz

speedlite
This flash puts the built in flash to shame. It integrates very well with the body and because the flash is a bounce flash you can do things with it that can't be done with the standard flash. Highly recommended
