I passed on the off brand products that cost much less, hoping to gain reliability and functionality. This unit reminds me of an older flash I had on my 35mm film SLR that was awesome with similar basic features as this Speedlight so i'm familiar with the Canon's basic functions from the get go.
Lighting was much enhanced as this Speedlight really throws off a lot and it fills the space in a fairly large room though not as much as Canon's top of the line unit, the 600EX-RT. The small, built in flash on my 70D works adequately on closeups but I found it floods the picture with too much light. The 430EX III is able to compensate for many conditions and my pics come out more natural, the shadows are less pronounced and the fashtones are not as washout out in contrast to my built in. It has the typical features like tilt flash and a cool built in diffuser that slides back into the head of the unit and out of the way. It comes with an amber cover that you might have to pay extra for on other units. The 430 is a step up from the older generation flash that was also very good.
I'm an ameteur photographer for sure though I can clearly see how well made this flash is. If I were an advanced shutterbug, I'd have sprung for the 600 (good price on Amazon too) but then, i'd be shooting with a more expensive 5d Mark II or another good large body Canon.
I recommend it for its obvious improvement to flash photography than my built in could accomplish. It has features that are found in the more expensive 600EX and will more than handle whatever you ask it to do.
But the bells and whistles are impressive! I look forward to fiddling with it. Been using it a little over the past couple months.
For the first time ever, Canon has enabled a mid-range (400-series) Speedlite with the ability to work as a master Speedlite. This means that after you learn the basics of using one Speedlite, your 430EX III-RT can be used with other Canon Speedlites to create off-camera flash. The 430EX III-RT provides radio Speedliting at a very affordable price (in comparison to the top-of-the-line 600EX-RT). It can serve as a radio master (to control up to 14 other 430EX III-RT and/or 600EX-RT Speedlites). Likewise, it can work as a radio slave or (as with earlier 400-series Speedlites) as an optical slave.
[Note: The 430EX III-RT and 600EX-RT work in radio wireless or optical wireless. All other Canon EX Speedlites work only in optical wireless (where the instructions are sent via a code flashed from the tube of the master Speedlite). Radio will go through the sides of softboxes and other opaque surfaces. Optical wireless must have a direct path between the camera-mounted master and the slave(s).]
For more information about Speedliting and flash photography, check out my Speedliter's Handbook: Learning to Craft Light with Canon Speedlites (2nd Edition) . I've created an online guide to using the 430EX III-RT that is available through a code included with the book at the end of the table of contents.
Pros:
Size
Built in wireless
Included diffuser dome and CTO gel
Fast recycle time
Can be used as a master to control other flashes
Can step down the light to 1/128th of full power
Controls are much easier to use than predecessor
Cons:
No weather sealing
Can't use an external battery pack
Limited rotation on the flash head
Zoom range is only 14-105mm
------------
This is an amazing flash unit for the price. This new entry in Canon's speedlite line will make it harder for folks to justify getting the 600-EX RT unless they need the added power.
