Canon Speedlite EL-5

My first time using a Speedlite. Works well with my EOS R6 Mark ii and I didn't need to buy another charger because I can charge the Speedlite battery with the R6m2 charger. Easy to use and I have no complaints.

I bought this speedlite June 14th this year and have used it on many photo shoots. I bought it because I have the R6markii with the new shoe. It does seem to communicate far better than my EF-1 flash, which I used all the time with my R6, but had issues when I moved to the markii.

The charger your cameras came with charge the battery which is the same charger many other Canon cameras came with. I would venture to guess you have a handful of them. I would venture to guess this is it didn't come with one. I would rather have a lower price than multiple chargers.

Love the EL-5. Great functions and easy to use interface. Works perfect on my R7.

First, I do like the flash, it is designed for the R series cameras and is not good for older bodies. The battery length issue seems to be fixed, I've found I can get 2-3 hours of sporadic use or about an hour maybe a bit more for consistent use from a single battery.

I've owned the EL-5 for about 10 months now and I love the rechargeable battery and how long I can use it before having to recharge it. It's also a very fast flash. Unfortunately, the compatibility of the flash is awful. I own a RP, R6-MkII, and a R5c and this flash will only work on the R6-MkII.

wait till now also can't support R5C , Canon When Can?

Lightning-fast recycle time unsurpassed. Uses a battery compatible with any Canon LP-E6 Battery Charger. I think what I like most about it is that the exposure is so dead on every time.

The EL 5 is definitely a very powerful flash and is likely to become my new work horse (together with my EX-600 units). It is a bulky unit, but that comes with the power it packs. I love the dedicated rechargeable battery, but only because I had the charger already for my R5 batteries.

After comparing this Speedlite with a 430EXlll RT, I decided on the EL5 because it was supposedly advanced technology and worth the additional price. Wrong! After fully charging the battery, (charger not included), I placed it in the flash, shot a few pictures, left it in the flash overnight only to...
