I'm really liking the new Speedlite II. It's got a solid build and is easy to use.

I was wondering why I have never bought a Canon flash before in my life. I have been using Sigmas for years and they were ok. I had extra money this last week and needed a flash so I thought maybe it's time to try out the Canons. Opened the box when I got it and was surprised how small the unit was compared to my Sigma. Tried it out and was satisfied with it the first day I had it. Next day was a fashion show, and I thought it was the perfect time to use this flash in real world photography. Set my setting to aperture control, activated the high speed sync. The venue was well lit so I was able to get an average of 600-800/sec shutter speed at f4-f3.5 at ISO 100. The speed was well above the limit of 250th sec for flash synchronization. Took some shots and observed the flash carefully. Ended up with around 93 photos. About 3 photos every 8 seconds. As the Sigmas will fail on me 2 out of 5 shots. Never did my 430 exII flash fail on me. Not even once. I was using 4 energizer nimh batteries with full charge. The exposures were pretty accurate for what I meter them to be. I was astounded by this flash. Now I have the urge to buy another one for a portable studio setup.

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% 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".
