Canon Speedlite EL-100 external flash is compact yet powerful
Buried among its new full-frame mirrorless system and new lenses, Canon also snuck out a new external flash: the Speedlite EL-100. This compact flash, which weighs just 190g (6.7oz) has plenty of power, with a guide number of 26m (85ft) at ISO 100. The EL-100 runs on two AA batteries and has a minimum recycling time of 5.8 seconds.
The flash can be tilted both horizontally and vertically for bounce capability, and it also has a manual zoom head. In addition to a 'set it and forget it' Auto mode, stroboscopic and 2nd-curtain options are also available. Despite its $199 price tag, the EL-100 is able to serve as both an optical transmitter and receiver, supporting 3 groups and 4 channels.
As mentioned above, Canon's latest Speedlite will cost $199 when it ships in October.
