Canon Speedlite 430EX II Flash for Canon Digital SLR Cameras

Canon Speedlite 430EX II Flash for Canon Digital SLR Cameras


41br1sHz8OL. SL75  Canon Speedlite 430EX II Flash for Canon Digital SLR Cameras

Bringing a new level of versatility and capability to flash photography, the Speedlite 430EX II features a powerful flash (guide number of 141 ft./43m at ISO 100) with a fast recycling time in a compact, durable body. A one-touch quick-lock mechanism makes it easy to attach or detach the 430EX II from the camera and a metal foot has been added for strength and durability. Flash controls can now be set through the camera’s LCD screen on compatible EOS Digital SLR cameras. The Speedlite 430EX II is also quieter, recycle time is 20 percent faster (as compared to the 430EX) and since it is compatible with Canon’s wireless E-TTL, it can be used as an affordable “slave unit.”

User Ratings and Reviews

5 Stars It’s canon, enough said
A photographer friend told me to purchase a flash that was of the same make of my camera, and to spend as much money on it as I could afford. Well, I probably could stretch and afford the model above this, but this is a great flash. For inside shots, outside low light shots, and even for putting that extra bit of umpf into your shot on a sunny day. If all you have used is the pop up flash on your camera, you will be amazed. One of my best purchases in my camera accessories so far.

5 Stars Wow Wow Wow !!!
This is the first Speedlite I ever used, and I’m really impressed! The quality, features, and ease of use are all top notch, and there’s no hi pitched whine noise between flashes either. I considered several other off brands (Sigma, Nisan) but in the end I really wanted a Canon flash to go with my 500D. I’m very satisfied.

The ONLY criticism I can make is that the flash is pretty heavy, but I suppose that comes with packing everything into such a small package.

5 Stars Great product
Very nice improvement compared to the now archaic pop up flash – it renders the flash on my XS pretty much useless, I don’t need that any more after I purchased this item. I am by no means close to being a pro, but with this Speedlite, my photos have more life and don’t look overexposed like they did earlier with the original XS flash. Very pleased with this purchase.

1 Star Poor Customer Service
I ordered the 430EX II, but instead received the 430EX. After 2 emails I have received no reply. Poor customer service, ripped me off. I wish I could rate it 0 stars. The 430 EX works fine and all, but I thought I was getting the 430EX II.

5 Stars AF ASSIST!!!
Best $248 I have spent on my DSLR.

The AF Assist beam alone is worth it.

I have the 270EX and it is a little toy compared to this.

5/5

Mike.

5 Stars DOES work in my SD1200IS… like a charm!
I was not going to write a product review for this, but after stumbling upon the negative reviews I figured I might as well add something. I purchased the “Maximal Power DB CAN NB-6L Replacement Battery for Canon Digital Cameras/Camcorders” in July of 2009 for my Canon SD1200IS. I have not experienced any problem whatsoever with this battery. My battery looks exactly like the amazon (not the user) picture shown: white wrapper, gray battery. It slides in and out of the camera like the original battery. The wrapper is not as tightly wrapped and glued around the battery as I would like, though it is no worse than the original Canon one in that respect. Or in any respect, for that matter: I cannot tell any difference between batteries. I seem to get the same amount of pictures/time out of a charge. Admittedly, I didn’t run any specific tests to prove this, so all I can say is that, if there are any performance differences, they are unnoticeable, even to a critical user like me. The camera itself doesn’t seem to ‘care’ it’s a non-Canon battery at all. Great back up, especially for the price!

5 Stars Works fine
The battery seems to be an excellent backup for the Canon product. It fits fine in the camera (the Canon 1200) and the charger; other reviews said they had difficulty with the non-Canon product being the wrong size, but I didn’t have that problem. Good price and it came fast. (I’ve seen replacement batteries in stores for $29!)

5 Stars the right item delivered on time
So far it works well together with my Canon IS1300 camera, a good deal for the backup battery.

5 Stars Solid
I was impressed by the price when I made the purchase, and the recharge rate after I’d made the purchase. If only my Canon D10 underwater camera had worked as well as this battery icon sad Maximal Power DB CAN NB 6L Replacement Battery for Canon Digital Cameras Camcorders

4 Stars A bit too large at first, but easily fixed
Like many other reviewers stated, this battery seemed a bit too large to fit into the battery compartments of both my Canon S90 and D10. I would really have to wiggle it quite a bit to fit completely in, and then had a hell of a time getting the battery out because it fit so snugly. I figured out that the plastic label that wraps around the battery wasn’t quite stuck on completely, so I really pushed down on the label going all the way around to get it to stick flat on the actual battery. No problems since then- slides in and out of both camera compartments just like the original Canon battery that came with the cameras. Great value for the price as a spare back-up.

5 Stars It’s a battery
What can you say, it is a battery and regardless of how long they last in the camera it’s always nice to have a spare.

5 Stars Great!
Official Canon battery at a great price, cheaper than fleabay and way cheaper than Canon!

5 Stars The price of perfection!!
The new battery for the EOS 7D is a bit expensive ($110.00 when I needed it),

but it has superb power(1800 mah)and gives the user great status feedback through the camera. Canon had embedded a chip in the battery that makes it difficult for the ‘knockoff’ folks to duplicate it at a more reasonable price.

5 Stars Canon OEM battery
I purchased this battery for my Canon 5 D Mark2. This OEM battery works perfect with my camera and it reconizes the voltage and type of battery.I would recommend using this battery

with Canon camera’s. This unit holds the charge for a long time. There are other batteries that will fit our specific camera’s but they are not as good as the original. Be aware the voltage

and the mah are not the same. For the extra money stay with the original and you will have peace of mind. Regards Ed Wilson

5 Stars Canon LP-E6 Battery Review
I bought this LP-E6 Battery for a Canon 7D DSLR. It was delivered very quickly and I immediately used it for an airshow, taking over two hundred pictures. The battery lasted and continues to provide power.

New Canon EOS Rebel T2i EOS 550D Test

There is great interest around the new Canon EOS Rebel T2i, the digital SLR that will take the 18 megapixel like Canon EOS 7D (the highest resolution currently available on a DSLR with APS-C) the reach of many photographers, along with the possibility of Full HD video recording capabilities with extensive manuals.

Canon EOS Rebel T2i available in the network where the characteristics of the newly formed digital camera are compared with earlier Canon EOS Rebel T1i and the Canon EOS 50D and Canon EOS 7D, these higher-end models, highlighting changes and innovations introduced in this model.

“The Canon EOS Rebel T2i is positioned between the EOS Rebel T1i and EOS 50D SLR offers a higher resolution for both but without any replacement. Boasting the same sensor dala proof digital SLR Canon EOS Rebel T2i 18-megapixel EOS 7D does not agree, however, the double image processor DIGIC IV in the case of the Rebel T2i is single, limiting speed continuous shooting at 3.7 fps. Important feature, given the propensity of this reflex to video footage, is the new high resolution LCD monitor and 3:2 ratio and redesigned user interface, now even more practical. The possibility of shooting video have been widely expanded with the support of full HD mode with a range of different values of frame rates to choose from.

Canon Rebel T2i Construction and ergonomics

The EOS Rebel T2i, EOS Rebel T1i with the confronting, it is built to fit its market niche and that between the entry-level and pro-sumer range of Canon digital cameras. Less robust and heavier than a 50D or EOS 7D, but certainly more solid entry-level Canon EOS Rebel XS. Fewer protections and sealing against dust and water and the shutter is not qualified to a minimum number of shots, where the EOS 7D and EOS 50D are guaranteed for 150,000 and 100,000 respectively shots.

The Rebel T2i Sensor and image processor

The sensor of the Canon EOS Rebel T2i seems to be the same as the EOS 7D note that provides the highest resolution available on an entry level SLR. But unlike the 7D, the Rebel T2i has only DIGIC 4, more than adequate for normal shooting situations, but with limited speed continuous shooting at 3.7 fps.

The new sensor supports the same range of sensitivity of the EOS 7D (EOS 50D and Rebel T1i) with standard range from 100 to 6400 ISO as a step expansion H1 to ISO 12800, for comparison, the EOS 50D and Rebel T1i have basic range of 100-3200 ISO with two expansions in 6400 and 12800.

Canon Rebel T2i Video and Live View shooting

Live View mode on the Canon EOS Rebel T2i is more or less similar to other recent Canon digital SLRs. Moreover, the new high-resolution LCD display with 3:2 ratio, gives a very clear and accurate picture of the scene. Autofocus is supported with a choice of three different AF modes, and its activation occurs by pressing the shutter button, option very comfortable and innovative than other video cameras from Canon.

Buttons modified for Canon EOS Rebel T2i

The buttons on the back of the camera have been redesigned to improve functionality. The layout is similar to the Rebel T1i with two differences: the first is the button dedicated to video recording to the right of the LCD monitor and allows switching between Live View and Video mode, the second is the button that was used with the Rebel T1i Function Print / Share and is now dedicated to the renewed interface rapid adjustment of camera settings for shooting. Two changes that greatly improve the usability of the camera than previous.

When shooting video, the photographer can change the aperture, ISO sensitivity, white balance and shutter speed, the latter with a minimum of 1/30? at 30 fps or 1/60? to 50 and 60 frames per second. A new feature of “clipping” video allows a magnification of the scene up to 7X recording in standard mode (640×480 pixels), functioning as a sort of digital zoom.

Canon Rebel T2i Performance and image quality

The performance of the camera under test are comparable to those of the EOS 7D that we tested in November and this is not surprising. The images are consistently sharp and vibrant color saturation, perhaps even more, particularly visible on the red. The quality of the video clips at full resolution and 24fps full HD is great, a bit less than in standard mode that is too soft. The audio quality obtained with the microphone that is good and above average.

The nine AF points of the Canon EOS Rebel T2i

The autofocus is fast and generally accurate, some miss in situations of strong light and contrast. In the same circumstances a slight tendency to overexposure of the highlights is sometimes present. Focusing in low light is very good, even superior to that of the Canon EOS 7D we tried (with the same lens used).

The sensor system of autofocus is the same as the EOS Rebel T1i but with two more AF points, nine instead of seven as the Canon EOS 50D and Canon EOS 5D Mark II. Also available on this EOS the system of automatic recognition of faces (face detection).

The metering can count on 63 areas that are evaluated by Canon iFCL system with a choice of multi-mode area, mainly central, partial (9% approx.) Or spot (4% approx.).

The presence of noise in high sensitivity shooting is similar to the Canon EOS 7D. The test images are virtually free from noise up to ISO 6400 with growth seen at high ISO test digital SLR Canon EOS Rebel T2i ISO 12800 of which images become softer. Applying the noise reduction function a certain softness is visible in the frames taken from ISO 800 up, but to little apparent lower sensitivity.

The Rebel T2i White Balance

Here too, the auto white balance is similar to other Canon digital SLRs we've tested. A component always this hot in incandescent light and a near-perfect performance in fluorescent light. Many customization options including white balance while shooting, including bracketing.

Buy the EOS Rebel T2i if:

* Do you want a lightweight, high-resolution camera, able to resume the same way still images and video.
* Do you want a digital SLR with an excellent built-in flash
* Want a simple camera to use but very comprehensive
* Do you want to use the ISO sensitivity is high for images that you shoot video
* Please use the autofocus during the video shoot.
