Product Description
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 percent 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."

I am by no means an expert on cameras/lenses or flashes. I bought this based on all the great reviews that I saw here. Maybe I was expecting too much or the types of photos that I tend to take perhaps are not effected to such a degree as others here – I do tend to use the aperture wide a lot of the time for portraits with my lenses, the rest of the time I take photos of my kids in the house and garden. I really did not that find great of an improvement.
Build quality was good and there are a lot of adjustments on the flash. I think perhaps a lot more for an amateur.
For >$200 I though it was not worth it for me so sent it back.
I am using an XTi with 50mm 1.8 and 28-135mm Canon lenses.

Gives nice nite photographs but battery life is not that great. May be I need to use brand name batteries or keep backup batteries. But overall satisfied with the Flash performance.
