Great Flash June 9, 2008
I love this Flash. It's a great accessory for many Canon Digital SLR's including the EOS Rebel XTi I have. I like how I can rotate and position the flash for whatever direction I want to send the light. For my usage many times I needed to point the flash 45 degrees up, and the rotating head allowed me to maintain that 45 degree angle no matter if I held my camera normally or sideways. I would suggest all users invest in a diffuser though.
 Great right out of the box June 7, 2008
Note: this is a "first impression" review. I plan to update it with further experience later on.
I was a little worried that a hot shoe mounted flash would complicate shooting, but I felt that i needed a better flash due to my ever-expanding lens collection for my Rebel XT.
I opened the box, connected the flash, put some batteries in and turned it on. I hit up a book store with tons of books crowded all around, causing some very dark little aisles- a perfect location to test this sucker out. And it worked from the first shot on. Sure, there's a little bit of a learning curve with the movable head (which is really awesome and helps get that "just right" image). It can really do a lot of the work for you and the pictures look great (clearly an improvement over my rebel xt's pop-up flash). I'm never shooting indoors without this!

I didn't buy this from Amazon but dun know why asked to review. I have the flash gun and have been using it very frequently especially for macro shots. This is one superb and affordable flash gun you. Highly recommended!

I didn't give this item 5 stars because I already own the Canon Speedlite 580EX II Flash for Canon EOS Digital SLR Cameras flash and it deserves 5 stars. This one however will have to do with 4 stars. It's cheaper and smaller than the 580EX II, but it packs quite a punch. the configuration is simpler and the flash range is less than that of the EX II...that being said I'm still impressed with it's power.
It doesn't have a 360 degree swivel head for backwards bounce flash, and it feels lighter and is smaller than the 580EX II, so that makes it more ideal if you don't have a big camera bag or are planning to travel as light as you can (which I am this summer).
I bought this mainly to be a slave unit for my 580EX II, whether you are buying this as a slave unit or your first flashgun, go for it.
Great flash, excellent match May 29, 2008

The Canon 430EX is a no-brainer flash. It works great, recyles fast, excellent tilt and twist flash head. Don't waste your money on the expensive model. I give the 430EX an A+, must have unit.
