Canon 430EX Speedlite Flash for Canon Pro1, Pro 90, G Series and all EOS SLR Cameras

I've been needing a flash for a long time and was actually looking into getting the more expensive one but because of someone's review on this site I did a bit more research and decided, especially for the price, that it would be best to start off with this flash. Which I highly recommend others doing. I plan on getting a defuser because I feel the lighting is a bit too harsh for my liking. Then again I am a newbie to flash.

This flash works great with both my Canon XTi and XSi cameras and improves my indoor photos of my grandchildren.

Seems like a good unit. Works as expected so far. I cannot complain about it. I am waiting for a diffuser I bought. I hope it doesnt diffuse too much. But that won't be the fault of this flash. Just starting out it will suit me just fine but I know it does not have the same oomph that the 580ex or ex II.

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

.- 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
