Lighting looks nice & even. Second shot (baby on mom's lap) looks a bit dark. This is what E-TTL metering does with white clothing & walls. Learn to use FEC for shots like this, and you're set!

I love the 430. I bought the Lumiquest Promax System to use with it, and it has to be one of the best purchases I've made yet.
