The Canon Speedlite EL-5 is a flash with guide number 60 (at ISO 100), with a coverage for focal lengths from 24 to 200mm (14mm with the wide-angle panel, built-in).

Pros:Rechargeable lithium battery with the same charger as my R6, charging speed, led light, lightness
Cons:Using the new multifunction shoe can only be used on the latest mirrorless cameras
Opinion:I got this flash as a replacement for an old 600exrt, having the new multifunction shoe I use it with my R6mk2. The lithium battery allows you to take a lot of shots, excellent that you don't need a separate charger but you use the classic of canon LpE6 batteries. A very useful function for shooting in very dark environments is the built-in LED light that allows you to help focus. With the new multifunction shoe it is then possible to remotely control the flash by purchasing the ST-E10 transmitter, and among other things it is also compatible with the old 600exrt. I use it mainly during weddings especially in the evening for dances and I am really enthusiastic about it.
