The Canon Speedlite 430EX II features a powerful flash with a fast recycling time in an easy to carry, tough little body. A one-touch quick-lock mechanism makes attaching or detaching the 430EX II from the camera a simple and straightforward matter, and a metal foot adds strength and durability to the unit. The flash controls are set through the camera’s LCD screen on compatible EOS Digital SLR cameras. The Speedlite 430EX II is also quieter than earlier flash units, and the recycle time is 20 percent faster than its predecessor the 430EX.

Because the 430EX II it is compatible with Canon’s wireless E-TTL, it can also be used as an affordable “slave unit” to a larger flash. The unit can be rotated both vertically and horizontal, and supports High-Speed sync which allows you to shoot using all shutter camera speeds and has built in wide panel. The Canon Speelite 430EX II has an MSRP of $319.00.
