Canon EL-10 Reviews

Good flash, but....

By JohnGA
Rated 3 out of 5
Date: 2026-06-11

After just over a year and only using it a handful of times the LCD display displays nothing. Just a green screen. The flash itself still works, so I will keep it of course, but I'm disappointed that I cannot change any of the flash settings and must accept whatever flash comes out. For regular everyday stuff it's still perfectly fine, but the defect in the flash is disappointing after such a short time/little bit of use. Of course, the warranty is expired so I'm SOL. My next flash however, will probably be another brand.

Good light
