Canon Speedlight EL-1 In-depth First Impressions (with test images)

In this video, we have a first look and first impressions of the newest flagship speedlight from Canon, the EL-1. It's marketed as the "1DX" level of their flashes with extremely fast recycle times and a weather resistant body. Wanted to show you guys the operation and some sample images I took with this flash. (Note: this unit is still a preproduction model) Unfortunately, the city I stay in just went into another lockdown and so, I had to return the flash. I was planning on shooting with it for a few more shoots and do a a proper review on this amazing flash. I did manage to take it out on two separate shoots within the span of a day. It's not long but it did give me a good idea of the improvements in this flash. Hopefully I'll be able to loan it again to do more proper testing! In the mean time, if you have any questions about the flash, feel free to ask me and I'll answer as best I can.
