What’s Changed? This flash matches the abilities and build of the prior version in every way except one: wireless range. The V2 reaches up to 164’ while the original EL-5 reaches up to 98’. They otherwise offer the same flash output, recycle time, battery life, and weather resistance.

Feature-Packed Flash. The Canon Speedlite EL-5 (V2) features up to 350 full-power flashes on a single charge with an LP-EL battery. It can continuously trigger up to 95 flashes in a row.
