Is this flash compatible with a Canon 70D? Is this flash better than 430EX for low light conditions?

Yes. Better than the 430, always want to get the best flash you can afford. I'm fairly certain it is compatible with all the canon cameras but check canons web site it has a list

if the price difference is not a factor then i would. I have the 430 exII on my 5d2 and it works fine but wish I had waited and bought the 580 so that I could use two 580s for a setup. You may also want to pick up a few books on flash photography (both on camera and off) before you buy. There are so many good books on amazon, Scott Kelby or Bryan Peterson being my favorite.

I have an SX40HS, and it's a matter of taking the plastic cover above the view finder off so that you can insert the feet into the holder. Read your camera manual for more specifics. Overall, the 430EX II itself is a nice overall flash system. I found the other paraphernalia in the package was cheapo and of limited usefulness.

I use the flash with canon 5dmkII and canon 60 d. Works perfect ttl and manual sa a canon flash. I m sure that works perfect on rebel body.

Yes. I recently purchased this flash for my d40 and it works quite well. Far superior to the stock camera flash. Cheers

I'm not sure what your flash needs are but it sounds like you use flash pretty often so a decent one might be a good idea. I recently replaced a Sigma 500 Super that I appear to have worn out with a a 430EX II. Nice flash - good feature set, powerful enough for all but the largest venues, not too big, recharged VERY fast and silently and tilts AND swivels so you can always use ceiling bounce no matter what orientation you're shooting in plus, if you ever upgrade to a 580EX, you can use the 480EX as an ETTL slave. AND, starting April 3rd, Canon will be offering the following INSTANT rebates: SPEEDLITE 580EX II - $50 SPEEDLITE 430EX II - $30 SPEEDLITE 220EX - $30 That will put the 430EX II around $240 or $250.

Of course it works fine with my canon 70D but the thing is it has only two electric contact pads with the shoe mount so it can't be used as an of-camera flash. Synchronization is good. Even I tried second curtain flash, it worked fine. It has No IR receiver. It has no focus assist beam.It eats up battery if not used (even when the switch was set to OFF) so you need to remove the battery when not in use. As Mr. "Martyn Mar" had pointed out earlier, it is a kind of beginner's flash to try with.

Unknown. I shoot Canons. And in my opinion this is a very good aftermarket flash in this price range.

I had this flash and it worked fine on my canon 7D. I would think it would work fine on your camera as well. anyway, this flash was cheaply made and broke just after warranty expired. I got myself a 580EX II and never looked back

I would definitely not get this. The light output will be similar to your built-in flash, but without the biggest benefits of having a hot shoe flash, like being able to change the angle of the flash.Save up and get the Canon Speedlite 430EX II. The only reason I got the 90ex is because it is tiny and can be carried in a pocket easily in case the need arises to use on my 5d Mark iii which does not have a built in flash.

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 seriously doubt that you will be happy with this flash. It is touted as an automatic TTL flash that works similar to name-brand flashes made for your camera. It is not. Suggest that you look seriously at the smaller Canon flash or a Metz equivalent. This flash is a manual flash and unless you are handy with setting aperture and shutter speed for different lighting situations, I would advise you to steer clear.

Actually, I have done it. If the 430EXii is in slave mode and the red part of the flash is pointed towards any other flash, the 430EXii will fire if the original flash is powerful/close enough. Happy shooting.

I have a Canon Camera and I use a Canon 430EXII and Sigma EF610 DG Super flash unit with mine with no problems.

I use the HLVF43M on my A6000. It is part of the A6000 system. BTW it is a very good flash.

This flash works great on my Canon SLR 30D. Great product for the price. I am very happy with my purchase.
