Re: Canon Speedlite 600EX II-RT Discontinued / New EL-5 announced
Good point about the manual. It can be found here. (Choice of HTML or PDF.)
Also, I bought only one unit because I currently only have one compatible camera. But a reason I considered buying two now was to determine if the radio trigger system has been made more robust than the system in the 600 series units. Those were pretty rock-solid for me over many, many years, but recently have been dropping the link after only minutes at a time. This was discussed in at least one older thread here.
I also noticed there's a gasket inside the battery door that presses against a lip around the battery compartment, so should have decent moisture sealing there. The manual states the flash has a level of weather sealing similar to the R5.
Both the Canon USA and B&H sites recommend the external AA battery pack as an accessory, but I didn't see the required port on the flash to attach it. It's probably an error. At 1.2 seconds full power recycling time, the flash with internal battery is already pretty quick.
