(202 reviews)

Best Price: Too low to display

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) MPN: SL-430EX - UPC: 013803057003

  • Great flash!


    By ABQJIJAGLYPIG on 2005-12-10
    I am a beginner to SLR flash photography, and I spent several weeks researching various flashes, both by online reviews, and by going down to the local camera shop with my Canon 350D (Rebel XT in US), and I finally decided on the 430EX over the Canon 420EX, Canon 580EX, and Sigma 500ST Super for a few reasons:

    1. Manual Control- Not only does this give you the obvious ability to have more creative flexibility, but as a beginner, it gives you the opportunity to experiment, and practice the more technical skills of flash photography. Another benefit of manual mode is the ability to use opitcally triggered slave flash units in a multi-light setup. Fully automatic E-ttl mode flash will trigger the slaves with the metering preflash, and make using optical slaves impossible while using the onboard flash. (there are work arounds, but they involve reducing the output of the onboard flash to a minimal level by FEC or covering the flash with something, limiting your flexibilty in creating a lighting setup). This manual flexibilty was the primary reason I choose the 430EX over the 420EX.

    2. Remarkable recycle times. I have no scientific data for this, just subjective feel. The 430EX out-performed the 420EX here. Not by a huge amount, but it was noticable. Under the same conditions-bounce for fill, low ambient light (meter read .3 sec at f4), the 430EX would be able to fire off an extra few shots in succession without having to wait for recycling. Depending on the battery level I could get 3 to 5 more partial power fill flashes in low ambient light, pressing the shutter release quickly with the 430EX over the 420EX. Again, not a huge difference, but noticeable.

    3. Build quality was better than the Sigma. I use my camera a lot, in the most hostile of camera environments (I am an elementary school teacher) and it swings around and bangs into things, and gets swung around and banged into things...etc. The build quility compared to the Sigma isn't that different for a casual user, who will take pictures at home, or in a more controlled environment. In particular, the Sigma battery door felt weak. This wasn't a decision point for me, but it helped me lean towards my decision.

    4. Finally, the last factor was the ability to function as a slave in a wireless setup that isn't optical. Optical slave setups are great for experimenting, and studio type setups, when you have the only camera in the room. But they do not work when every mother and father is taking a picture at the school play, and in the future, I plan to upgrade/expand to include infared control of a flash setup. Again, there are other options for non-optically controlled slaves, but the 580EX plus Canon slaves is an easy way for a non-pro like me to go.

    For me, the primary selling point was manual control. I probably would have gotten the 580EX otherwise, and just might do so in the future if I can save my pennies. The Sigma 500ST Super was very tempting as well, and if you want a powerful flash, manual control, and don't plan to use a multi-flash setup, or you use an optically triggered setup, I would recommend that flash highly as well.

    One last point, the AF assist on the Canon flashes will cover all the focus points on a 350D (Rebel XT), and 20D, whereas the Sigma will only illuminate the center AF reliably. This AF assist is much nicer than the built in flash assist, and has a reasonable range for most portraits and group shots in low light.

    I hope this review helps you! It took me a long time and lots of research to decide, and hopefully, I have presented my reasons in an intelligible manner!
    Have fun and take lots of pictures!

  • Nice design update. Works like a charm.


    By A1H4WLPFV59XMA on 2006-12-05
    The 430 is plenty of flash for many photographers. and makes a nice walkaround flash, backup, or outstanding slave flash for someone who gets bitten by the photo bug in a serious way. The only current flash model that can compete is the Canon 580EX, which costs about a hundred bucks more. Forget the Sigma flash. The 580 is a much better unit (I'll explain in a sec), but it is bigger, heavier, and again, more expensive. The 430 can do most of the important things a 580 can do that an amateur is likely to use, and then some.

    Here are the important differences... The 430 is pretty powerful, but the 580 is much more powerful than the 430 (GN 58 vs GN 43 (meters)). That's a lot of extra reach, or extra bounce capacity. Again though, the 430 is plenty strong in it's own right. The 580 has a fun strobe feature that the 430 does not have. The 580 has much greater manual control than the 430, by virtue of being able to adjust it's output in double the number of increments compared to a 430. The 580 has 14 custom functions, while the 430 has 6. The 580 has an easier to use function wheel than the 430's "button wheel". The 580 head can rotate 180 degrees in either direction, and be set to less than 90 degrees to the lens axis, while the 430 can only rotate to 180 degrees in one direction, and cannot dip below 90 degrees to the lens axis. The 580 can control other 580's, and 430's as slaves via it's infrared optical control transmitter/reciever. The 580 covers all focus sensors on EOS cameras up to the 45 points used by the pro bodies. The 430 covers up to 9 sensors, which is fine until you get beyond the 5D body (the Rebel line, 10D, 20D, and 30D are fully covered). Both flashes include a pull out wide panel that will cover a lens as wide as 14mm on a full frame body, or as wide as 10mm on a 10,20,30D, or Rebel body, but the 580 also has a pull out "catchlight" panel designed to put sparkle in the subjects' eyes when using the flash in bounce mode. There are a few more things, but that should cover the big ones.

    OK, the 580 is the knockout champion, so why did I rate the 430 with 5 stars? Because it deserves them. Canon was wise enough to pack very good power, and a FULL feature set into the 430 without screwing the prospective buyer by leaving out one or two important features that would force them to spend the extra bucks on a 580. The 430 is built well, looks sweet, works like the fine instrument it is, and is significantly smaller than the 580. The fact is, I use the 430 as my preferred flash more often than not. A trip to the car races, a birthday party, general photo fun, family stuf, etc. It is more flash than most people will ever need, at a good price. For those times that I need more, or want to use multiple flash units, the 580 heavy artillery is brought out, and the 430 becomes a second unit under the control of the 580. Both units come with a clever little "foot" that allows you to position them on any flat surface, so you can set up your scene lighting without having to use tripods to hold your slave flash units.

    If the photo bug bites you, you will end up owning both flash units. Get the 430 first. If you never get into serious multi flash setups, the 430 will serve you just fine. I you do, you will end up buying it anyway :).

    By the way, someone complained about cycle time on the 430. That was nonsense. Either it was a defective unit, or the reviewer was on the cheap, and used alkaline batteries. All flash units are very current hungry when they recharge after a full blast of light. Alkaline batteries are not capable of delivering high current levels more than a few times when they are new. Internal resistance builds up, and they begin to deliver such small current rates that you could sing an entire opera between flashes (no matter what brand of flash). Always use a high current technology battery like NiMH in a flash unit. You can buy a set of four 2700 MAh rechargeable batteries at WalMart for about seven bucks, or buy a brick of 24 of them online for about a buck each, and get a good charger for cheap too. With the right batteries, your 430 will recover from a full power flash in less than 4 seconds (about 2.5 in real life), and for less than full power shots (fill flash, etc.), you can take several shots in one second. Alkaline batteries will work in a pinch, but that is the only time you should use them. Lithium is a good technology for flash units too, but is still rather expensive. Buy NiMH for now.

  • A Wonderful Backup!!!


    By A37ZBT4TNPHLA0 on 2005-10-31
    I added this flash to act as a slave to my 580ex in certain situations. This flash is phenomenal!!! The output is dead on and the exposure it gives is perfect, thanks to the ETTL-II that the 420ex lacked. Even when it's connected to the shoe mount on the camera it's awsome. The lighweight is very much appreciated as I now tend to shoot with this as a walk around flash. Highly recommended as a backup or main flash unit!!

  • Nice Flash, worth the Money


    By AJIP4LXMWZUON on 2005-12-10
    If you are looking for a flash for your SLR then you really only have two choices, this or the 580EX. The lower-end flash would be a waste of money and space because it doesn't provide much more then your camera's pop-up flash.

    The flash is very impressive; you can setup just about any bizarre exposure you want on your camera and the flash will produce enough light to make the picture actually come out (with-in its limits). Bounce flash is really helpful for shooting near-by subjects; it greatly reduces the hash shadows that often ruin indoor pictures against white walls. I am very happy with the recharge time. At close range you can normally get 2 or 3 very quick shoots in before having to wait at all; after that it is still pretty fast. When it has to fire hard it recharges in a couple of seconds on good batteries. If you have the original Digital Rebel then the 430EX also adds flash compensation control.

    I don't own a 580 so I can't really comment on the advantages. It has a longer range, color temperature information, -3° down angle and wireless master mode; it is also larger. At the time I bought this one the 580 was twice the price so I didn't even consider it; the prices have come down a little, so it may be worth looking at. You should also keep in mind that the 430 does support wireless slave mode, so if you buy a 580 down the road you can still use this flash as a slave.

    A few tips:
    1. Always keep spare batteries; weak batteries cause very slow recharge times on distance shoots.
    2. Always watch for the flash icon in the view finder. If you are shooting quickly in low-light and you happen to press the shutter before the flash has recharged you could find your self having to wait through a completely useless 10" exposure.
    3. If you find that you have a tendency to accidentally tap the Depth of Field Preview button the side of the camera then you probably want to use the flash's custom feature to disable "Depth of Field Preview Illumination" (I think that is how its worded). Normally the flash strobes when that button is pressed; which annoys your subjects and forces you to wait about 5 seconds for the flash to recycle.

  • Best flash for the money


    By A2UQK3DAZ8NO2T on 2006-06-24
    Simply put, if the price isn't too high, this is the best flash value for the newer E-TTL II flash system cameras (all the current digital EOS). Be careful in chosing a flash, because if it's not E-TTL II compatible, you'll have very poor results with the latest digitals.

    The 430EX is a best value in that it has all the truly important features: bounce, swivel, auto zoom head, autofocus assist, good power, and E-TTL II compatibility. It also has two things that put it ahead of most independent flash units.

    First and foremost is the high flash synch capability. This is invaluable when using the flash for outdoor, sunny day fill flash portraits. Large apertures (for shallow depth of field) and bright light necessitates shooting at faster shutter speeds. The HFS allows this, although it is not as power effecient as not using this mode. This can truly make all the difference in your outdoor portraitures.

    Second, but of less value, is the wireless capability. The 430EX, the 580EX, some older flashes and the ST-E2 controller can be assembled into a portable, multi-flash wireless set. I feel this is rather undesirable for most, as the cost required could easily equip one with a very nice studio lighting outfit. However, some might find this to be of more use than others.

    Although the 580EX has a few more features, and a bit more power, it's probably not the best choice for the average flash photographer, due to the much higher cost.

    If this flash is still out of your budget, there are several other flashes that are E-TTL II compatible from other manufacturers, but none will combine the features and build quality of this Canon.

  • Great Flash!
    By A2M4PQPBV45U71 on 2006-02-03
    Make no mistake about it-- this flash is a superb value. With enough options and settings to dazzle even those of us who have been photographing for a while, this one makes a great purchase. Absolutely outstanding fill-in and bounce flash capabilities. Very powerful, very precise, and the sync mode is phenomenal. Made the mistake of ordering the 220 and had to return it within a day because, pardon my French, it's a piece of junk. I shed the extra $150 for this one and ever since I got it I've ran a series of intensive tests (informal though) and am nothing but amazed and glad I ended up ordering this one! Definitely great, great product! If you are a low-light/night pro I suggest the 580 instead which is definitely in a league of its own. But for the rest of us this one will take you a long way.

  • Makes indoor shots look great.
    By A2SL8CHVSS7FDJ on 2006-03-29
    I take most of my shots indoors, and was encouraged to buy this flash. I was blown away by how much better my shots look when bouncing the flash. Much more natural looking lighting. I think this is the best thing I have bought for my XT, I love it.

    Lots of good reviews for this, so i don't need to add much more, but I wanted to rate this 5 stars because I am so happy with it.

  • Buy it! Buy it! Buy it!
    By A2XU6J41ZQOJ2V on 2006-01-09
    I just received my Canon 430EX last week, so I have limited experience using it. I am very impressed with its solid construction, LCD screen, and selectable (available) manual controls. Also with the test shots I made so far ranging from 2' to 20'. Perfect exposures. I bought it for my Canon EOS SLR Digital Rebel 6.3MP. Did a lot of shopping around trying to find a flash not quite so expensive. Found many of the "bargain" brands were not totally "dedicated" to my camera, therefore some of the features will not work. Even had incorrect advice from some of the major camera chains. So beware! Some do not put out as much light, too. Be sure you are getting what you want. The other reviews here at Amazon are very good, do read them. The price Amazon offers it for is reasonable, especially when you consider free shipping and (for most) no sales tax. I highly recommend this one.

  • Heavy Hitter
    By A12AYONFLIYMSZ on 2006-01-23
    I love almost everything about this flash. Especially the accurate lighting when you bounce it off the walls or ceiling. Coupled with a f/1.8 lens, I was even able to take some decent indoor basketball shots this weekend. My only beef is the weight. Very heavy once you pack in those four AA batteries. I don't know if the reviewer who said that the flash was lightweight was A-a-a-rnold or not, but I find it very top heavy when you put it on something like the 300/Rebel.

  • Huge improvement for my Canon G7
    By ANIGKAY3OX77U on 2006-12-09
    I've recently stepped up from my Canon S400 Elph to the G7. Outside shots with the G7 have been excellent, but inside shots with the built-in flash have not done this camera justice. After talking to a knowledgeable friend and reading reviews and discussion forums on many photo sites, I decided to take the plunge on the 430EX.

    I cannot begin to emphasize how much better indoor shots are with the 430EX flash. Gone is red-eye and washed-out pasty-faced pictures of my toddler kids. Using the pivoting ability of this powerful flash to bounce flash, my indoor shots are much nicer with more natural lighting effects and a fully lit-up room. Shots of the kids are crisp and natural looking with no more red-eye.

    The ETTL-II support works flawless with the G7. Installation and use is a snap. Unless you feel the need for manual overrides, a large amount of calibration happens automatically between the sensors in the camera and flash, including a fast pre-flash to further achieve a better calibrated picture. After doing a search on ETTL-II I was amazed at the complex interactions that happen between the camera's sensors and the flash.

    The flash does looks large on this camera with the flash tilted up, but it actually looks decent when tilted forward. I will say that it is reasonably light and I have not had any issues keeping the camera balanced or steady with the flash mounted and holding in my hands. In my opinion, the improvement in picture quality for indoor shots far outweighs my original concerns about the flash being too large for the camera.

    The combination of the G7 camera and 430EX flash has given me a very satisfactory kit that produces excellent quality pictures indoors while still having a fairly compact camera to use in the brighter outdoors where an external flash is not required.

  • Excellent Flash!
    By A31ICLWQ9CSHRS on 2005-10-20
    Just added this to my long list of stuff for my XT. Man, what a difference! I can now shoot nighttime highschool football - and look like I know what I'm doing!
    I'm glad I opted to wait for this one as opposed to taking the 420. The extra flexibility is really noticed. I've never shot with the 580ex, so I don't know how it compares, but this is a super flash!

  • great flash
    By ABEWAIY091IJC on 2006-06-30
    it works great, there are just two issues. when you lock it on the hot shoe, it can be very, very difficult to unlock (you twist a wheel to tighten it on) and when the batteries in my camera are low, the camera and the flash start having computer problems and act very strange (i have a cannon digital rebel xt). other than those towo issues, which in comparison seem very small to me, the flash is fantastic! lightweight and easy to use.

  • 430EX
    By A3A5HROXBP2A8M on 2006-07-20
    I am very pleased with this product...
    Shoots well in all types of different light conditions,
    even when it is pitch black the 430EX takes a decent shot
    at close range...
    430EX adds a deeper color and warmth to pictures in
    conditions where light is lacking...

    I am a graphic designer and need great photo's
    when I begin work and the 430EX helps with the
    process of a more clear and colorful photo when shooting
    with my Rebel EOS XT Digital Camera...

  • Flash!
    By A1PKTFAUV41FJV on 2006-07-20
    This is a great unit. Works great for the purpose for which it was made. I'm going to eventually get the 580 so I can use it as a slave unit (with the wireless option) for a wraparound lighting system.

    I would recommend a diffuser so that the light can be subdued especially when you wish to brighten the fleshtones of the people in the photo with golden light so they are presented in their best image. Blue spectrum light does not present us in the best way.

  • A terrific flash and a great price-performer.
    By A2JH35WPO05EQN on 2007-02-19
    I bought the Canon EX430 just over two weeks ago. Have been using it and love it. Here's my take on this flash unit:

    PRO:

    1. Excellent function in fully automatic mode. Abundant manual features, almost too many.
    2. Flash head tilt and rotates, very convenient for bounce flash.
    3. Looks good and well-built. Included case is very good.
    4. More than enough for my needs in terms of flash power.
    5. Not excessively heavy nor big, though not a light-weight either.
    6. The Built-in wide-angle diffuser is neat.

    CON:

    None; flash recycle time is not the fastest but not an issue for my type of photography. It can go through batteries fast, but with such a powerful flash I guess battery usage comes with the territory.

    I have older E and EZ series flash units. The 430EX is simply so much better. In my opinion, if anyone needs just one flash and doesn't want to have too much bulk or weight, then this will be the one to get. If anyone is thinking about getting a flash for Canon cameras, then one should take a very close look at this one. It will open up a great deal of possibilities in taking picture or improving picture quality for you.

    Highly recommended.

  • Great Flash
    By AWH03VWWAIOZ9 on 2006-08-20
    This is a very nice flash unit that integrates well with the PowerShot Pro1 camera. I appreciate the zooming strobe tube to match the lens focal length as well as the ability to bounce the flash off the ceiling for softer effects. I should have purchased this flash when I first got the Pro1 camera.

  • Excellent flash but could use a little more warning on low batteries...
    By A31EWAL58YLWIR on 2006-08-05
    Does the job and the Canon E-TTL II is a nice feature but I wish they would provide a battery indicator like on the Canon DSLR cameras.

  • lgilbert
    By AUXJ1TPQ1XNPZ on 2006-11-05
    I'm very pleased with this small unit that has a great deal of power. It's compact, not heavy, has an adjustable power output by simply spinning the wheel on the camera to the left or right. In addition to the light output, the head can be tilted so the light can be direct or bounced, an excellent feature. Getting up and running with this unit was a breeze because I am totally "brochure reading averse."

    Twenty years ago I was a photographer with big equipment, but had given up both. I was surprised by the control one has with such a small and relatively inexpensive unit.

  • WARNING: You Will Never Be Satisfied With a Built In Flash Again
    By A2C2RML9JHT3B6 on 2007-02-06
    I should warn any buyer of this flash, once you come over to this flash you can never go back to the dark side of the force and use a built in flash again. This baby will give you the warmth and depth of a flash like you dream of. I use it on my Canon 30D and am totally in love. Even the 30D flash washes out the subject, creating direct, unatural shadows and a white gleam on faces and such. I barely know how to use the thing and out of the box it was night and day improvement. I can't wait to see what it will do when I perfect its use.

  • 430 EX Rocks !!!
    By A6O627C7SXWI3 on 2006-11-09
    I started looking for the earlier version of this flash and when I saw the upgrades on the 430EX I didn't hesitate to order it. It's what I've needed to take my photos to a higher level. I shoot for two magazines and now instead of taking my studio light into every shoot, I still carry it with me, I use this flash instead and it makes a world of difference.

  • Top Quality Flash From Canon
    By A1J462WJ8WBXZT on 2006-07-11
    An excellent flash to use with my Canon 20D at a fantastic price, the Canon 580ex was an expensive option, but should I buy one in the future ? the 430ex is perfect as a slave unit.
    Great product from Canon as always !

  • Great Flash
    By A3F8OLKGTJ4NIL on 2006-11-05
    Excellent addition for Rebel XT. Tried lower cost generic flash units. My only regret is that I waited so long to get the 430EX.

  • Eats a battery, fragile built-in wide-angle lens
    By A210PRFGUD4EKD on 2007-01-22
    This works great with my Rebel XTi and I've been very pleased with the photos. I found for portraits though I had to get a warm-up filter (Sto-Fen Gold-Colored) as the daylight-coloured light can be rather unflattering to people.

    Still I've had two problems with mine in the six months I've had it. First, it seems to suck dry one of the four AA batteries it uses, leaving the others almost at full charge. It's the battery in the same place every time, I think. Of course it acts like it needs new batteries if one is dead and the other three are still good and replacing the dead one makes it all well again however it doesn't last very long as it's as if that one battery is doing all the work. I don't know why this is and I'd be interested to hear if anybody else has had or heard of this issue - maybe it's a fault? I've tried both rechargeable and regular batteries and both exhibit the same problem.

    Secondly, there is a plastic lens recessed into the top of the unit that pulls out and down over the main lens of the flash unit. It's purpose is to make the flash wide angle. However mine broke off and came out of it's little slot completely (and won't go back in) so seems very fragile as I didn't miss-handle it or anything (not when it's that expensive!)

    Aside from these issues I'm very happy with it as I get great photos from it. Maybe mine just has some QC issues.

  • Slow recycle time
    By A2J0IBS4PFRO2C on 2006-11-29
    Not only does this flash have a slow recycle time but you can't use the Canon CPE3 Compact Battery Pack with this flash. I really don't understand why. So if you're doing lots of event shooting, it's best to go for the 530EX and get the battery pack. This flash is best used as a slave to the 530EX.

  • Very Pleased
    By ANMF5A67XWBLP on 2006-12-23
    I haven't used the flash very much yet, but the photos I have taken are dramatically better than indoor photos with the built in flash on the Canon Rebel. I wish I would have purchased the flash two years ago because many of my existing photos would be much better. If you need a flash for a Canon Digital SLR, try this one!

  • What an improvment
    By A2B31BTZH8JN43 on 2007-01-08
    After taking just a few pictures with the 430ex I knew I made a great decision to get an upgrade to the built in flash on my Canon XTi. There is full communication between the flash and the camera so the exposure is right on. You can take full manual control for more creativity. My favorite thing to do is bounce the flash off the ceiling for a soft lighting effect. Aside from my new Sigma lens, this is the best investment I've made for my camera.

    Only word of caution is the built in diffuser. Make sure it is tucked away after use with a firm click. Even if it is slightly out of it's housing the camera will compensate for it and your exposure will be wrong.

  • Perfect Flash
    By A275EOYAIDKYAU on 2007-02-27
    I bought a Canon 30D with a 24-105 L IS and slid my older 420EX on it. It was like the two had a mind of their own...pictures were hit or miss. Bought the 430EX, read that it communicated better. It is so very good. No matter what I do, the pictures are excellant. I tried it at the normal sync and then on high sync.....I took a picture at 1/8000 on Tv and it was perfect. If you have a newer EOS, put a 430 on it unless you have reason for the big guy, the 580ex. Get the most out of your system.

  • Having lost of fun with this one
    By A17IWPOPWEMOWL on 2006-11-06
    I purchased this along with my new Canon 30D DSLR. I mainly use it for fills in outside sunny days, but it has been used to light up the situation. I'm personally still learning about how to best angle the light to get the best outcome, but I don't think it'll take long.

  • Excellent product.

    I've owned this product for 6 months and it never disappoints me. Used in conjunction with the diffuser cap, it can provide subtle lighting without the traditional harshness expected from normal flash photography.

  • Solid product, does what is advertised

    The 430EX has plenty of power and makes all the right automatic interfaces with my G6. Cycling time is fast.
    I got it primarily for interior bounce flash with wide angle lens adapters and that works great.
    Direct flash on close subjects (4-6') overpowers the combined camera/flash auto features (when the camera mounted flash would have been more than sufficient); I haven't messed with the manual "ND filter" adjustments or GN adjustments to try to compensate.
    I do not expect to ever get the 530EX or other equipment needed to use the RF slave feature. I wish Canon would have included the more prosaic optical flash slave feature as well for those of us non-professionals who still enjoy using good equipment.
