Awesome Flash2009-04-25
I have now used Canon 430 EX in many diffrent shoots. There is nothing you can not do with this. 180 degree turning of the head. I love it.
Almost everything2009-04-13
This is a great flash but has a few unfortunate shortcomings. 1.) the fact that it cannot act as a master with another 430EX (or previous version) is EXTREMELY disappointing. For someone with a G10, the larger flash is not an option, unless I want to be identified as a comedian. It's ridiculously big. 2.) the buttons are awful. I don't know if Canon could have selected buttons that are less ergonomic. 3.) To tilt or swivel the head you must depress a button. This is unfortunate because it takes up valuable time and is awkward to do when you are in a hurry.
More Flash Than I will ever need.2009-03-31
I am a new to photography and I am glad I went for this flash. This flash has the power and extra features to grow with.

Audio & Video Connections Guide
" For a list of all the ways technology has failed to improve the quality of life, please press three." - Alice Kahn This quote is certainly applicable to consumer electronics. From the very first commercially produced radios to the latest in high-definition television technology, the manner in which the components used to deliver our news, music, movies and entertainment are interconnected seems to have escaped logic. For both the newcomer and the old hand alike, connecting equipment in the most efficient and effective manner can be a painful chore. It is hoped this article will improve your background knowledge concerning potential A/V system connection schemes and where each is most appropriate. The next time you find yourself in a "connectivity quandary" perhaps the ideas shared here will help you to quickly solve the riddle of which wire goes where and why!

Digital camera batteries
Batteries are vital for all photography and makiing sure that you have a spare set is essential if you intend to take alot of pictures. Print digital also recommend that when deciding upon a digital camera keep in mind what sort of batteries it takes. Does it take rechargeable batteries, are the batteries built and do you have to plug it into the mains, or does the camera only take standard batteries, if so then it can become exspensive if you are a keen photographer and use the camera alot. There are three types of rechargeable batteries: NiCD, NiMH and Lithium-Ion. Nickel Metal Hydride are the most popular rechargeable batteries at present. They hold more charge than their counter parts NiCD and don't suffer from memory effect. The one small down fall of these batteries is that they will loose a small amount of charge even if they are not being used, so be sure to check the batteries before using them. When you purchase a new digital camera make sure to ask what type of battery ...
