Digital SLRs with strobe sync

by hartbarge Sep 22, 2005 11:53AM PDT

I am a serious amateur and want to get a DigSLR with a strobe sync hookup capability. Do any of them have this? They dont seem to. Also, I would like to stay in the $1500 range.
Any ideas?

Canon 350D and 20D

by snapshot2 Forum moderator Sep 22, 2005 12:56PM PDT

Note that unlike the EOS 20D the EOS 350D does not have a PC Sync terminal (although you can still use studio lights with an inexpensive hot-shoe->PC Sync adapter).

The Nikon D70 and D50 hot shoes will likely work with a PC Sync adapter too.

It depends on what you mean by strobe synch. The Canon

20D can fire its flash units using an infrared light controller which mounts on its hot shoe. There may be another accessory that can fire other flash devices.
