Speedlite 430EX II is the name of a new flash from Canon, which - when used with compatible EOS cameras - can be controlled via the camera's menu system. This gives the photographer fast and effective control over all functions of the camera as well as flash in a single interface.

The new flash replaces the Speedlite 430EX and offers, in addition to the grand integration with the camera, a number of other news. These include the recharging time has been 20 percent faster while that process has been much more muted, just as a new footing in metal with an improved design for quite stable communication between the flash and camera. When the flash must be taken of, it is a snap thanks to a new snap-lock.
