This exciting new addition to the EOS System combines compact size and affordability with an added dose of features and sophistication. Improving on the previous model, Speedlite 420EX, the new 430EX can now be set into manual flash mode (full power~1/64). Flash compensation can be set on the flash unit, and manual control of the flash zoom head is now possible. Improvements in its circuitry make recycle time 40% faster, and since it is compatible with Canon's wireless E-TTL, it can be used as an affordable "slave unit". Wide-angle pull-down panel covers 14mm lens (on a full-frame camera) Zoom positions - 24mm, 28mm, 35mm, 50mm, 70mm, 80mm, 105mm; Indicated by numerals on the LCD's focal length display Image Size Zoom Control - With cameras compatible with auto zoom, it zooms automatically to match the camera's image size Guide Number 141 ft./43m (at ISO 100); flash head at 105mm zoom setting Auto conversion of flash zoom coverage with compatible digital SLRs White balance info communicated instantly to compatible digital SLRs Bounce upward to 90 degrees; swivel right (to 90 degrees) and left (to 180 degrees) 14% lighter and approx. 25% smaller in overall volume than top-of-the-line 580EX Six flash custom functions built into the 430EX (set on rear LCD panel) Power Source - Four AA-size Alkaline Batteries (6V) or Four AA-size NiMH Rechargeable (4.8V) - both not included Unit Dimensions - 2.8 x 4.8 x 4.0 in./72 x 122 x 101mm / Weight - 11.6 oz./330g (without batteries)

 A little extra light when ever I need it.
The 430ex is a nice flash allows for that extra light I need when shooting back stage of a Boys R Us drag show or photographing a model in lingerie in the middle of the city standing on a street corner.
Not intended for professionals
We originally purchased this flash for my wife who didn't want a huge flash making her camera heavy while shooting 6 hours worth of a wedding/reception with me. However, if you plan on using this flash for anything other than horrible family shots, be prepared to purchase some sort of modifier (attachable softbox, bounce card, etc.). On its own, it's not worth much. We're actually about to send this back in exchange for another 580EX (that I currently shoot with). Spend a bit more and get a much better flash.
Versatile flash
This is a versatile flash with many angle adjustments available. It has plenty of flash power for most users. Definitely a better choice than the 220EX.
Another great flash for EOS
Affordable and works just fine if you don't need the slave capability. And it actually recharges significantly faster the the more expensive model. I'm happy with it.
Wonderful
This is the first external flash that I have ever bought. My camera is a Rebel XTI. I have been getting more serious about my hobby and decided to start upgrading a little at a time.
You just can't beat this flash. There is NO comparison between this and the built in flash! WOW. Just being able to bounce it off the walls or ceiling is a HUGE improvement. Using it as a fill flash outside it GREAT as well. It works well right out of the box so you don't have to learn every little thing about it to start using it right away.
Yes, it adds some hefty weight to the top of your camera but it's worth it to me. I am sure the 580EX is a great flash but it was way more than I needed and cost too much for me. If I ever decide to upgrade to the 580EX then I can use this 430EX as a slave flash.
I also looked at the 430EXII but decided against it due to the extra cost versus the extra features. I just don't need the faster recharge times and this EX isn't very loud at all. There some other features on the EXII as well but like I said, it wasn't worth the extra cost in my opinion.
GET RECHARGEABLE BATTERIES! I can't stress this enough. You will go broke using regular batteries. Spend the money and get some 15 minute rechargeables and you will always have a fresh set of batteries.
Look at the 430EXII as well and see if the extra features and improvements are worth it for you. Also, look at the 580EX. I love this flash and it will grow with me if I ever move up to the 580EX.
