Like so many reviews here (that I wish I read before purchasing) I have to agree that you shouldnt buy this for professional work. The speedlite is really unreliable, after about 15-30 shots in succession the flash will just grind to a halt and only for maybe every 4th or 5th photo.

I am very happy with the canon speedlite 430EX III-RT it's quite simple to use and reliable. Reasonabley priced to.

I bought this to use on my canon sx60hs and I have to say used it for a wedding and was quite pleased with the speed and ease of use. Made the camera a bit more heavy but all in all very pleased and when I move up to a DSLR then I can use it also on that as well.

I have recently purchased this product for my new 77d. it is an improvement on the previous model(which i had on 700d ) as well as being slightly lighter and smaller.It even comes with a diffuser.

So, I unpackaged my brand new speedlite last night. The thing has brand new batteries in it and reads as NO battery.. pretty frustrating and I am glad I didn't wait until I had an important event to professionally photograph with the thing!

exactly what i was looking for to compliment my new canon dslr. price was great, service was outstanding with the order placed tuesday eve, shipped wednesday (with notification i'd receive it friday) and got it thursday. i'm always happy with Crutchfield.

Fantastic addition,compliments my 600 II RT and along with my ST E3-RT gives me a light weight professional set up - works every time

Do not know how long this has been, but in my opinion if you do not need 600 model, I can say that the little is better than the big bulky, much more that you do not want. 430 III is a very good FLASH arguably better than the 600 model, and I'm with the group, small fast everything can and do I get...

Love this flash, I own Yongnuos and finally I said to my self "Go ahead and buy a Canon Flash". Well, the Yongnuo cannot compete with the 430EX, this flash is so much better and illuminates my subjects more accurate. I don't regret buying it.

Pros: Excellent mate for Canon 60D. Relatively light in weight and firmly attaches to the camera's hot shoe. This unit worked seamlessly in automatic mode with the camera and provided exceptional illumination for the photos taken thus far. Cons: None Other thoughts:
