True that 350D Cannot be used with External Flash/Strobe ?

Hi All

Thanks again to all who gave their thoughts on my Post on whether to get the 20D or the 350D

I understand that one of the differences between the 20D and the 350D is that the 20D has a PC terminal for use with an external flash or strobe, while the 350D does not ? ? ?

Is that correct ?

The thing is that I do plan to use the Camera with a Portable Lighting system for portraits..so if this is true, it look's like the 350D might be out

the 350D does not have PC terminal but you can always get a PC hot shoe adaptor to use it with Portable light system...or you can get wireless infra red trigger or radiowave trigger. Wireless is my prefered choice...PC cord is annoying.

Get a PC-Hotshoe adaptor from CP...quite cheap

PC sync is really old-school...Now you can use IR trigger on your hotshoe.
