Few things can improve a photographer's shot as quickly as a new flash. The majority of DSLR cameras come with a flash built-in. But frankly, that flash tends to be fairly weak. Even when the built-in flash is not totally underwhelming, its certain to provide little in the way of meaningful control.

Its Canon. So its good. It takes two batteries. Its great for a camera that doesnt have built-in flash like the 5D series or my new Canon EOS R. One tiny caution: take the batteries out when you put the flash in its case. Ive found that sliding in the flash will accidentally turn on the flash.

I bought this flash to go with my EOS M50. I was using a 600EX RT for my full frame DSLRs, but it is gigantic compared to an M50! I needed to have a flash for events and family gatherings that had full articulation for bounce flash, and this new EL-100 is simply perfect for the job!

It seems like a great little backlight or fill in flash. Certainly isn't usable as your primary flash unit. Has some wonderful new innovations too which is great to see.
