I just took my first lighting techniques photography class and it seems I need a hand held flash and since I have the canon rebel 2000, it doesnt have the port to plug a flash into, so I need to get the adapter for the hotshoe so I can plug it in there.
So here are my 2 questions:
1. does any hot shoe sync work on any camera with a hot shoe? Todays slr's have extra things on the hotshoe so the camera can talk to the flash, so im wondering if I would need a canon sync or if I could use a generic one off of ebay.
2. also the teacher recommended the vivitar 283 or 285, but again with the slr's having the extra ports on the top of the camera, will this old flash still work on my camera?
Thanks for any answers. :0)
