Canon Digital Rebel-sync question

Apparently there is no sync cord connection for this camera, but I was told
an attachment can be found for the hot shoe portion of the camera that
allows this to happen.


Does anyone know more about this? I assume based on the studio sample tests
that I have seen that the camera was indeed used with strobes.

Any suggestions about this must needed accessory?

Thanks!

There are hotshoe to PC adapters with a safe synch circuit (high voltage
isolator) made by Nikon, Canon and Wein that will allow a safe trigger
voltage, Pentax has this circuit built into their *istD. Studio strobes
often have a high trigger voltage that "could" harm the camera circuitry, so
it's IMHO better to be safe than sorry if you cook your camera.

 

I have heard of a device made by "Wein"... I was just wondering if anyone
with a Rebel has shot with such a device... I'm hoping the Rebel will work
just as fine in a studio situation with strobes as it will outdoors.

 

It's called a Safe Sync.

The Rebel will work fine with studio strobes, no need to fret.

THANK YOU. Very, very much. I just needed that assurance before investing.

Thank you for this infomation as well. SOme time ago a friend used his
digital camera with my strobes and fro some arcane reason the fuse in the
power pack blew. Nothing was hurt, I reset thefuse.... but could not figure
out why this happened.

But it is apparent that when I buy my Canon Rebel I will get the more
expensive save sync with a surge protection.
