Opinion:Highly recommended. Used for ceremonies as well as public openings, has never let me down. Superb white balance, never out of tune ... ever! For the missing panel, directing the light out of range, the speaker masterfully manages to sopperirne lack. Then, the prepared cameras can control the flash directly from their menus and manual settings vary in steps of 1/3 stop. Moreover, the sensor detects the size (full size, APS-C or APS-H) and the zoom position is then automatically adjusted, optimizing flash coverage and the amount of charge needed for each shot and automatically compensates any small fluctuations in the flash lamp voltage and brightness transmitting color information from the flash to the camera. Simply monstrous if we look first to the fiction that must svolgere.rnManca the master function is true, but it would have paid this figure (then about 250 €), missing the most current rt radio function ... so what? But acquits innanzitverything the function for which it is born? Then all we need and advance ... as Toto said.
Opinion:Purchased recently, after three flashes of competing brands (and you see ) for commission work... what to say, excellent measurement of the TTL, always very powerful and fast, its colors are really good, unlike competitors that tend to "ingall" the balance of white... for the gusts then he is always ready to fight ! Being an original product then there can never be communication errors, always ready to shoot with an incredible charging time... Also great for the exterior, delicious in the interior, delicate in the shadows although sometimes the speaker should be used. they could do it only a bigger hair, maybe with a wider display but it does not bother me, otherwise the white panel makes it feel missing unlike the competitors... large but inefficient.... right now you can find it at 100 euros, highly recommended !
Opinion:I bought and used this a lot when I flash drive way to work in a local area. I've got to test the robustness of the flash several times in that situation. some moments it was taking continuously for a long time without even giving the recharge time, has also suffered some loss. After 2 ½ years of intensive use especially on the weekend to date it is still very good. It makes some noise when you turn it on but it works perfectly. Now I use a lot less for not working more local but serves ago when his service so inpeccabile.
Cons:It lacks the white diffuser removable, strobe function
Opinion:I had several kinds of flash, but the 430 EXII is well above average, especially in continuous shots, the intensity of light emitted to the first step is equal to the last without leaving any area in the shade, which is not observed with flash other brands, also with guide numbers at or above, excellent time to recharge between shots and the other, the parable in auto zoom is very quiet and fast in various excursions with zoom lenses, a great flash pro.
Pros:Short recharge time, powerful, slave function
Cons:Lack of master function and speaker Removable
Opinion:I have the Canon Speedlite 430EX II for about two years, I am fully satisfied, the flash is powerful and can be recharged quickly, illuminates the schena always properly diffondento a beautiful white light at 5400K. It has many functions and can be used either in TTL mode and manual. It has a wide panel that allows coverage to 14mm focal. I saw that many professionals use it as a second flash in slave with the 600 or the 580. It lacks the master function, a function that canon incorporates the external flash from 400 euro up, but with the new Canon cameras like the 700D - 70D - 7Dmk2 is not a problem as they have the master function is incorporated in the camera body. rnUna thing canon failed is the diffuser is removable ... I find this outrageous (it's a piece of plastic that will cost 20 cents) often important houses are lost in absurd banality, however, is not a problem with a little imagination me are made from solo.rnLo recommend it to everyone, but keep in mind that the light of the flash to make inso goes soddiscefente issued and correctly oriented.
Pros:Very good, very versatile, fast recharge times, silent (no whistles)
Cons:It lacks the master function
Opinion:I had this flash for two years, I've done a lot of pictures in many areas, portraits and photos in the house and in outdoor sports arenas. If the batteries are up to it, it has a very quick recharging. More than once I found overheating problems that forced me to stop for more than half an hour. It works perfectly with the trigger Yongnuo 622-C.rnLo I replaced for about six months with a Yongnuo YN-568EX II good too, just missing closing fast on the slide and the block head. But it has many advantages, such as higher power and the ability to control other flash. High quality construction for both, with a slight advantage of Canon. rnRicomprerei the Canon? No'd take two 568 spending perhaps meno.rnrnP.s. The Canon lacks the mini speaker white, very useful in many occasions.
