Canon has announced to launch the flash in October.

Should I choose 430EX over 580EX?

[leepsj]

Is 430EX compatible with all canon's dslr ga or just the long awaited 5D lei?

[leepsj]

I heard it is a simplified version of 580EX - his brother.

It is just like the relationship between 20D and 350D wor?

yes,

yes, 430EX is compatible with all canon's dslr; no, it does not confine to 5D.

"I heard it is a simplified version of 580EX - his brother."
yes, it is.

Then how much is 430EX going to be ah? Any one know?

wow!! too expensive, the street price is lower,hopefully!!

The 580EX cost $3,500 - 3,800, I think if the flash system is new it is still worth the price.
