Powerful and packed with modern features, the Canon Speedlite EL-5 is tuned for advanced photographers. This model pulls some of the best features—such as a rechargeable Li-ion battery pack and modeling lamp—from the flagship and brings them into a smaller, more accessible package.

Note:

The Speedlite EL-5 uses the newer multi-function shoe. This is only compatible with select Canon EOS R Series camera bodies and will not work with older cameras that use a different hot shoe design.
