An excellent flash unit which perfectly compliments the Canon EOS range of D-SLRs. Bristol Cameras had the best price on offer for this unit.

I purchased the 430EX II as a replacement for the previous model. I was very happy with the price I paid at Bristol Cameras, and the gun has proved to be a great user-friendly improvement on its predecessor.

I have just received my new Canon Speedlite 430EX II Flash and Omni bounce. I have only had a short play session but even in this short time I am very pleased with both the products that I received and the service I received from Bristol cameras.

Canon Speedlite 430EX II Flash Question

Date Added: 2nd December 2008
Question: What are the advantages of the 580EX compared with the 430 EX II?
Bristol Cameras Answer: Hi, as well as the power output advantage of the 580EX II, it also benefits from the power output being able to be adjusted in 1/3 stop increments right down to 1/128. Also the 580EX II can be used as a master to trigger remote Canon flashguns (the 430EX can only be used as a slave). The 580EX II flashgun's flash AF assist covers up to 45 focus points (the 430EX only covers 9). Also the 580EX II can be powered from an external power source and it also has a PC sync terminal, which the 430EX doesnt. And last of all the head on the 580EX II has a better movement range than the 430EX. Most people if budget allows will go for the 580EX II.
