Deal Details
Canon has Canon Speedlite EL-5 Camera Flash (Refurbished) for $129. Shipping is free.

Thanks to community member qpjj for finding this deal.

Features:
  • Advanced Amateur flash with a new multi-function shoe connector for enhanced camera communication and functionality.
  • The Speedlite EL-5 borrows some of the best features of the flagship EL-1 flash, such as a lithium-ion rechargable battery and a modeling lamp.
  • Utilizing the same high-speed charging circuits as the EL-1 and a lithium-ion battery, the EL-5 acheives a recharge time of 0.1 to 1.2 sec.
  • Even though the EL-5 does not have a fan it is still has a continuous flash count of approx. 95 or more at full output. Great for situations where you always need to be ready.
  • Since the EL-5 does not need to use any power for a fan, all of that power can be used exclusively to charge and fire the flash. This increases the number of continuous flashes that the unit can emit to 350.
  • Features the same joystick control and high-definition LCD as the EL-1.
  • This flash gets even more powerful when used with an EOS R-series camera. Assign flash functions to the control ring, utilize quick flash group control, and set up multi-flash shooting.
  • Utilize the free Canon Connect smartphone app to change settings like flash intensity, flash compensation, sync settings, multi-flash control, and FEB remotely.
  • Dust and moisture resistance equivalent to the EOS R5.
Includes:
  • Refurbished Speedlite EL-5 Flash
  • Soft Case
  • Stand
  • LP-EL Battery Pack
  • 1-year warranty

Since when flash lights not compatible with most cameras? Does this use some special hotshoe connection?

I'm trying to convince myself if I need this to replace my old Neewer flash on my EOS R
You shouldn't because it won't work on the EOS R

I literally dusted off my Rebel xsi i received as Xmas gift from brother years ago... I am wondering would this be a necessary upgrade to novice/hobbyist photographer such as myself? what reason(s) would I need for upgrading from the built-in stock flash on my camera? Any other upgrades to consider and prioritize around?

The EL-5 won't work with the Rebel cameras. This flash is only compatible with the newer R cameras. Canon has a compatibility matrix at https://cam.start.canon/en/H002/a..._0010.html.

Look for used EX Speedlights if you want an external flash on eBay, MPB, or KEH. You can find them for less money too.

ah thank you for pointing that out... i did quick google search and AI answer generated simply said "Yes" compatible. I found canon 430 Speedlight EXII as option.... I imagine this is to help extend the reach of flash in poorly lit areas?

It does not work with R, RP, R5 and R6. It's fully compatible with R6 Mark II, R8, R50, R100 and R5 Mark II. Autoflash using the AF-assist beam is not supported with R3, R7 and R10.
