Can I use this flash with my Canon 5D (not a mark ii or iii)?

Aloha Andrew, Don't know to what extent you mean 'USE', but I tried it on my friends 5D mrk i and it works perfect in ETTL and manual, I also tried the ST-E3 on camera (5D mrk i) and fired the 600ex rt off camera and that worked too. I think when Canon says it's built for the 1DX and 5D mrk iii, I believe they're talking about it's ability to work in conjunction with the camera's newer 61 point focusing systems. Hope that helps!

If I understand your question correctly the answer is yes you can set different channels. So if the unit on the hotshoe of your camera is set to lets say 14 and the flash you want to pair with that camera has the intended receiver attached and set to 14 then it will fire that unit. At the same time you can have another pair set to another channel and fire it separately from another camera. As far as it working on a 5d? the lit I read said it would. I don't know for sure because I have not tried to use it on the 5d. But I think the C3 does. You may need to read and make sure.

I use it on a Canon 7D. I can't imagine it wouldn't work on the 5d as well.

yes it will work very well with the 5d mark II. I own a Mark II and Mark III

It should work I guess, but you will have to control the flash from within the camera menu as the flash itself does not have any buttons or interface except for the on-off switch. I have used it 20D, 7D and 5D Mark III. Extremely functional and a lot better than the pop-up.

I have the Canon 7D and use the SanDisk Extreme Pro Compact Flash in mine. I'm fairly certain that the 5D and 7D use the same cards.

Yes, I used it on a Canon 40D originally, and now I use it on a Canon 7D and I don't have any problems with it at all, and they haven't changed anything as far as the flash connections.

I would definitely not get this. The light output will be similar to your built-in flash, but without the biggest benefits of having a hot shoe flash, like being able to change the angle of the flash.Save up and get the Canon Speedlite 430EX II. The only reason I got the 90ex is because it is tiny and can be carried in a pocket easily in case the need arises to use on my 5d Mark iii which does not have a built in flash.

I don't think so, but a similar flash is specifically for canon camera....please check it...

No. You need canon 600 rt or equivalent. This system is radio controlled and your flashes do not have that capability.

I do not know that question I have a 7D. I have only used mine as a reg flash also.

Yes. The 580 ex is a great flash. I've rented it several times and used it with my 5D mark iii. My favorite feature is that it allows for remote flash, i.e. the flash doesn't have to be connected the camera body. No matter what your flash needs are, the 580 ex will cover it. If you have the money, buy it.

Yes, it's works perfectly with my 5d mark III, it's very easy to use and good construction.

I use it with the Canon EOS T1i which was released before the Canon 5D MK II. It should work.

Yes this will work on the 5d. The Yongnuo 565EX has a great build quality and is extremely durable. I have had this on shoots, in and out of many camera bags and different conditions and the flash has held up. The body is plastic, and has a decent weight to it. Even though the flash is inexpensive it does not feel cheap. I hope this helps with your decision.

Sandro, I purchased this flash for my Canon 70D and I have found no incompatibilities between camera and flash. I love the flash and am very happy with my purchase.

I seriously doubt that you will be happy with this flash. It is touted as an automatic TTL flash that works similar to name-brand flashes made for your camera. It is not. Suggest that you look seriously at the smaller Canon flash or a Metz equivalent. This flash is a manual flash and unless you are handy with setting aperture and shutter speed for different lighting situations, I would advise you to steer clear.
