UPDATE: Canon has just announced the launch of its highly anticipated EL1 V2 Speedlite EL-1 Version 2 flash, along with the new RS-80E3 Remote Switch and two upgraded R-series cameras, the R6 Mark II and R8. This release is a game-changer for photographers and is available for preorder now at B&H Photo Video.
The EL1 V2 Speedlite EL-1 Version 2 features a powerful xenon bulb with a remarkable Guide Number of 190.3′ at ISO 100 and 200mm. Thanks to its new rechargeable Li-ion battery, photographers can enjoy up to 340 flashes per charge. This flash is engineered for both professionals and advanced amateurs, making it an essential addition to any photographer’s toolkit.
The flash supports 2.4 GHz Wireless Radio Transmission and is compatible with Canon’s E-TTL/E-TTL II systems. With a fast recycling time of just 0.9 seconds, it’s perfect for capturing those fleeting moments. Its user-friendly interface includes a new LCD panel and joystick controller, enhancing the overall shooting experience.
In addition to the flash, Canon has introduced the RS-80E3 Remote Switch, designed for seamless operation with any mirrorless camera featuring an E3 accessory port. This tool is ideal for studio setups and tripod-mounted photography, allowing for precise control.
Moreover, Canon’s R6 Mark II and R8 cameras now come with cropping guide firmware preloaded. This innovative feature provides photographers with four different in-camera cropping guides, streamlining the process of framing portraits and minimizing the need for extensive post-editing. The guides are visible on both the LCD and EVF, ensuring quick adjustments during high-volume shoots.
The announcement was made earlier today in New York, and the products are now available for preorder at B&H, a leader in photography and video equipment. This significant release is expected to meet the demands of photographers looking for quality and efficiency in their equipment.
