I have only had it a few days and have not used it. I bought it to use with a Rebel camera because it is light and not expensive.

Better than I thought for such a small flash. I've used it alone and for fill on sunny days and it always seems to have enough power.

Great flash for my Canon M50 Mark II. Needed something not to big and that could handle the job. Does what I need it to do. Thank you for such great shipping and customer service.

Worked very well. Provided the needed extra light when needed. Doesn't add a lot of weight to the camera. still impressed after 5 shoots using this flash. But have spare batteries on hand, the recycle time increases as the number of flashes increases. Expected, but two batteries just do not have that much power. The good part of that is the batteries are very easily changed.

I was looking for a budget Canon flash. The EL-100 is it. BUT while it may be intended for the casual/hobbyist photographer, it certainly delivers a powerful punch. If you want simple, you have it with the EL-100. And while it's not professional gear, you can get great results with it!

Works flawlessly with my older Canon G10. Folding flash diffuser makes great portraits.

Great for an intro level flash! I'm a natural light photographer but wanted a flash in my bag for those just in case moments. The Canon Speedlite EL-100 was the perfect flash for me!

Nice compact, powerful, flash unit at a great price. It works perfectly with my canon 60D, 90D, 6D, and 6Dll cameras. I no longer use the larger 400 series flash. This flash rotates in both axes - side ways and up, down. The flash fits in the side pocket of a holster bag - easy to carry. I highly recommend it. Bought it with the free accessory package - reflector etc.

This is Great! I wasn't sure this would be powerful enough since it is so much smaller than the other canon Speedlites, but I was impressed with the results. I've never used any other speedlite, but it seemed to work well as a bounce flash. I did notice the camera was in ISO 800 for direct flash and ISO 1600 for bounce flash, but the overall photo quality was improved tremendously over no flash and built in direct flash.

I really like this little guy. I needed a small flash that I can easily hide in props like umbrellas held by the subjects and I preferred the quality and ease of use I associate with Canon. I was pleasantly surprised at additional benefits I wasn't expecting. I still use the older 580EXII flash with its optical transmission. And since Canon has moved to radio transmissions I figured I wouldn't be able to mate the 580 with newer flash units. However the EL-100 also recognizes optical so it's a simple process of turning on the communications function in the menu of my 5D4 and the two flashes instantly began communicating to each other. I may pick up another EL-100 for a 3 light set up.

I saw some great reviews and have a few flashes already, which have done well, but under perform in several cases, either too much light, not enough light or have to play with a bit, change settings and other items, besides being bulky and add weight to my already heavy camera bag. This flash is tiny. So at first, you look at it and it is beautiful, looks great on the camera. Then you think to yourself, is this to small to do the job and find out that is the opposite. I have tried it on my Canon 7D Mark II with a 23-70 mm f2.8 lens. I didn't touch a single setting and the light was constantly even, enough of it, not too much and weather I bounced the light of the wall or pointed straight at the subject, it was nice and equal amount with amazing even light on the entire frame. Then I decided to check the "speedlight" function and was amazed. All of my other flashes, weather with the battery pack or AA batteries, need time to recharge for the next shot, even a split second, but this one, I fired off at 4 fps and it performed providing a flash on each shot. I have yet to try it on 10 fps and I am sure it will do the job, might lag, but at that speed, I rarely use the flash anyway. Love it. Going to get a few more when the time comes. Great product. Below are a few unedited photos to show how evenly the light hit the subject and even when not even on the angle, was done on purpose to create a different prospective, but love how easy it is to control this one. Haven't tried off the camera yet, but pretty sure it will be amazing.

I love this flash. Outdoors, you can see the big difference in the pictures when you use it and when you don't.

There is a lot packed into a small package. A little more expensive than some third party units, but well worth the extra cost. Very solid and well made. The package from Adorama was a nice addition!

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 has enough power to supply ample bounce flash indoors, and for fill-flash outdoors. Very compact, very simple to use, and integrates perfectly with my M50. Love it!

I've wanted a new flash for a long time. This one has more features than the more expensive one I was eying for a long time. I like that it swivels in addition to bounces at multiple angles. & it's small & lightweight. This will help take my photography to the next level, in circumstances where natural light just isn't enough...

For anyone wanting to explore fun, creative opportunities with flash photography, the Speedlite EL-100 is a great option to add a compact and versatile flash to your photographic set-up. From brightening darkened rooms to filling in and preventing an under-exposed or noisy image, the Speedlite EL-100 offers the performance and features to capture beautiful photos in a variety of scenarios. With the ability to pivot and swivel, you can bounce light off ceilings or walls, depending on the situation. If that situation requires a wide coverage area, the Speedlite EL-100 has a spread similar to the field of view of a 24mm lens. Add the light you need and find new shooting possibilities with the highly portable Speedlite EL-100.
Compact and versatile, the Speedlite EL-100 can slide easily into a camera bag and add light to a dark or dim environment. Weighing approx. 6.7 oz./190g without batteries, it won’t weigh down your camera. Thanks to the Speedlite EL-100’s ability to rotate and pivot, it’s easy to use to get a direct or indirect burst of light where you want it, without compromising your camera’s position.
To help ensure you’re able to get the light you want, wherever you need it, the Speedlite EL-100 can pivot vertically and rotate horizontally. To get some indirect light by bouncing the flash off the ceiling, you can twist the flash head upwards to a maximum of 90° (i.e. straight up). To get bounce from a nearby wall, rotate the head up to 150° to the left or 180° to the right, letting you get a bounce even if the wall is behind you. Of course, you can also angle the Speedlite EL-100 straight ahead to bathe your subject in direct light.
Boasting power for numerous shooting situations in a compact and lightweight package, the Speedlite EL-100 has a guide number of approx. 85 ft./26m at ISO 100. Even when shooting with telephoto lenses, or if the subject moves away from the camera, the Speedlite EL-100 can provide an ample burst of light for bright and evenly illuminated compositions.
The Speedlite EL-100 can cover a similar field of view as a 24mm wide-angle lens, helping to provide well-lit interiors and minimize the exposure drop-off at the edges of an image. For a tighter spread with a brighter result, this is adjustable to a narrower 50mm. This lets you finetune the strength of the flash and the coverage to suit your subject and situation.
For comprehensive lighting setups on the go, the Speedlite EL-100 offers a number of options for wireless flash operation. When used with a compatible flash, or flash driver mounted on the camera, the Speedlite EL-100 can serve as either a sender or a receiver unit in an optical setup, at distances of up to 36.1 ft./11m when indoors and 26.2 ft./8m when outdoors. Additionally, remote shutter release can be achieved when the Speedlite EL-100 is used as a receiver unit with a compatible EOS digital SLR camera.
The Speedlite EL-100 is highly adjustable, letting you modify its performance to match your specific needs. Exposure control lets you control the flash intensity, while continuous shooting capability means there’s little downtime between flash photos. For that extra creative flare, a stroboscopic mode allows for rapid and repeated firing of the flash during one long exposure of the camera. This causes, for example, a moving subject to appear in multiple places across a single image, providing fun, new photo opportunities.
To help capture high-quality images, the Speedlite EL-100’s multiple features can work to communicate with your camera. This includes an Auto mode option that lets the Speedlite EL-100 function like a built-in flash, and an external on/off button which will turn on the Speedlite EL-100 when you turn the camera on, keeping it ready to use when you are.
Depending on your environment, you might not need a flash with every shot captured. To adjust to situations like a subject moving in and out of natural light, or in a dark room, the Speedlite EL-100’s Mode Dial features an AUTO setting. This allows for your camera to determine whether the flash is needed and fire it only when necessary. With this same dial you’re able to assign the Speedlite EL-100 to one of three flash groups, for more elaborate multi-flash setups.
Make your photography sessions more dynamic and versatile with the Canon Speedlite EL-100 Shoe Mount Flash. This powerful and reliable flash unit is the perfect companion for your Canon camera, offering enhanced illumination and creative lighting possibilities. With a guide number of 85, the Speedlite EL-100 ensures your subjects are well-lit even at distances up to 85 feet, making it an ideal choice for photographers who require a long-range flash.
The Speedlite EL-100 is not only high-quality and durable but also boasts a compact and lightweight design, ensuring it won't weigh you down during extended shoots. Its full articulation capabilities allow for bounce flash at multiple angles, providing you with the flexibility to achieve the perfect lighting for any event or family gathering. Whether you're looking to add fill-flash outdoors or need ample bounce flash indoors, this flash unit has you covered.
Compatibility is key, and the Speedlite EL-100 integrates seamlessly with a wide array of Canon cameras, including the popular EOS M50.
