This was a sister model of the 514XL-S. It had an external metering system, replacing TTL metering, and some functions were dropped from those of the 514XL-S to lower the costs. A newly designed high-speed 3x f/1.2 zoom lens with macro function was applied. This lens had a built-in foldable rubber lens hood. The new compact Canon Boom Microphone BM50 was developed for this model. The Canon Boom Microphone BM70 marketed together with the 514XL-S could also be used with this model.
