Canon Speedlite 430EX flash: Digital Photography Review

Canon has today announced a new 'digital compatible' flash, the Speedlite 430EX. This new flash unit is clearly aimed at buyers of the EOS 5D digital SLR which doesn't have a built-in flash unit. Compared to the 420EX which it replaces the 430EX has an increased guide number (range) and is approximately 40% faster at recycling. When attached to a camera with a smaller than full-frame sensor it detects this and adjusts its angle of coverage.

Canon reassessed and refined the optical zooming system of the new Speedlite 430EX III for space efficiency. This new flash is more compact and convenient to carry around. The head of the flash now has a wider range of movement, with a 90-degree tilt upwards, 150-degree leftwards, and 180-degree rightwards. This broader bounce angle range provides more freedom to capture images regardless of the camera’s position.
