Is compatible with all features on my Canon EX 430? I do mean operation of the flash?

The Ettl cord works for me. The hot shoe fit to connect the cord to the camera is tight but it works.

I was unable to get the provided cord to work with my 430EX and Canon 5D mkII. The flash would fire, but no TTL functions. The camera did not recognize the flash when it was on the cord. I ended up going with a "Vello TTL-Off-Camera Flash Cord" and bought the bracket separately for roughly the same price.

check out the manual, its doing both (charging flash and writing cached buffer on the memory), meaning i may well need an external (ohh gooding!!!! more stuff for my camera) so for such a case, what external flash unit would you recommend, cause i've been looking at the at different ones, and the one that fits my needs the best according to what i've seen is the 430EX II by canon, what your insight is it to much to little?

I think it will work with any flash. I bought it for my overseas customer and he is very satisfied with it.

Thanks NutMac. I just got the Canon XSi so I'm guessing that would control this flash (being very new itself). The one thing I didn't consider before was that the price of this new 430EX II will be at list price for a while, making it a lot more expensive that the current model! That will put it out of my price range, so I guess I'm sticking with the older technology for now! Thanks again,Stew

It will work with all Canon digital cameras and newer flash including 430 EX ii.

I can't find any reference to the 430 being supported by this pack. I use it for a 580 and even with that big of a flash, you have to be careful of the heat cycles.

I don't know but I'm in the process of purchasing one of those flash. I would suppose it would work

I'm not familiar with that camera, so I don't know for sure, but check the manual or look up the camera features online and see if it can use TTL metering. If it can, then it should work with the 430EX. The 430EX normally uses E-TTL, but it is backward compatible with TTL. I'm not sure what you mean by "430EX 11" so I don't know about your second question.

This unit is compatible with all Canon flashes, so it should work just fine.

Both of these flashes will work on your camera. The 430EX II is just the brand new version of the 430EX with some additional features, a faster recyle time and a better mount. I'm not certain if the 430EX II is worth its 50% higher price though it should offer better performance and convenience with your XSi. Both flashes are currently being offered with a $30 instant rebate and will give you excellent results. BTW, when shooting with flash, point it at the ceiling for a nice diffuse lighting effect and set your camera to MANUAL so that the flash will completely control the exposure. Also run a web search for "bounce card" for a simple and cheap way to improve your flash shots even more.

I would say yes, I also have a Canon T3i and have used the flash with the unit.

Yes it's very flexible, I have a 430exii and it works flawlessly I'm sure it would work with any flash

For ETTL they'd have to be Canon compatible, but even then I'd check with the Phottix user groups/user communities about each specific flash you have in mind.

Thanks, Cary. You've convinced me, and I now own a 580EXII. Perhaps I will get the smaller 430 as a second flash, if it can pick up the wireless signal from the 580EXII ?

It should work wtih any flash as it's adjustable. (just noticed it has been answered already)

The Canon User's Manual for your camera says:"Speedlite 600EX-RT/600EX/580EX II/430EXII/320EX/270EX II zz Shoe-mounted flashunit that enables many stylesof flash photography. Speedlite580EX, 430EX, 270EX, and 220EXare also supported." This unit is a copy of the 430 Canon, so it should work just fine..

Hi -- Yes it,s fully compatible it has good power how ever the flash coverage is only up to 85mm focal length I found in practice it presented no problem my subjects were adequately illuminated as far as 30 to 40 ft distances L M
