Canon Speedlite 430EX III-RT Camera Flash with AF Assist Beam and Speedy Recycle Times SKU: 0585C003

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Wireless sync doesn’t work properly My Canon speed lights worked wonderful up until 2022. The last two years have been rough shooting weddings. I often sync them to shoot and they drop a connecting with minutes making receptions nearly impossible and they often drop at the worst times first kiss and dances. Do not buy until they correct the issue.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from replaced my 580 EX-II I'm really impressed with this flash unit - it has replaced my 580 EX-II. It's smaller, lighter, and I haven't noticed any limitations related to its having a lower GN. While I haven't put it through any particularly extraordinary paces yet, I am pleased with it's recycle time and battery consumption. In particular, I did use it on burst mode on the R5 accidentally when I handed it to a friend to take some photos of my family and was very pliantly surprised to see it keep up! I ended up with about 20 shots of well exposed images with no misses.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Good Buy I was finding it hard to find a flash that worked with the Canon T7. I am glad that I finally settled on buying a good flash. I find in photography you get what you pay for in both lenses and flash.

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Too slow Very upset I bought this last minute as a back up flash I normally shoot with just a 430ex II I thought this would be better the recycle time is horrible now trying to find a 430exii in stock somewhere. This drained my batteries way to fast...

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Best Speedlite Value, Ever! I love this new 430EX III flash. I previously owned the 430EX, but quickly upgraded to the 580EX to get better rotation of flash head to the left (90 degrees vs. 180), and also for the built-in bounce card. However, the 580EX is a large body, and actually dominates my 6D. This unit is smaller (smaller than the 430EX, too), and weighs less. I am super pleased Canon added the bounce card (catch light panel), and also threw in a "omni" bounce - and - a CTO filter! Thank you, thank you! Cosmetically, it matches the finish of my 6D perfectly, and the size if perfect - seriously looks like it was made for the 6D. Power is the same as the 430s before it, but that is ample for my needs. The controls are very easy to work, much better ergonomics over previous versions. Overall, it has many of the features of the top-of-the-line 580/600EX, but is far more affordable. It is the best Speedlite value, ever!
