Since there is no way I could afford the 580EX, the 430 is a great flash. With the built in flash, my long shots (photographing several cars at once in a frame) were poorly lit and the results were unusuable. The camera and flash synchronize to ensure a perfect shot every time and recycle time is incredibly fast. It can act as a master or slave flash, and is very responsive to multiple shots requiring a flash in a short amount of time. I noticed on some other 3rd party flashes, some features aren’t supported. This is why I went this route, even though it was a bit more expensive. I just cannot say enough to praise this product! If you are in the market for an external flash for your Canon equipment you should definately give this a try!
