.... why did Canon remove the FLASH PIN??? It's so outrageous that I have no words. This is a camera for beginners in a small price range, and now it turns out that it works only with Canon products - which are not very cheap for me. For a device for which I have spent around 360 pounds, I have to give the same amount - if not more, for a flash and a wireless trigger.

What is a FLASH PIN? If you're talking about a PC sync terminal, I suspect very few beginners even know what that is. If you personally want one you can have it by using an adapter to put in the hot shoe.

Double-check and nowhere didn't find on the Canon page that they remove the pin!

Specifications rarely explain that a feature is not there. You normally have to look for it and see if it's there. However, Canon actually did publish the fact that the 250D does not have a PC sync terminal:

HotShoe / PC terminal: Yes / No

I have made a complaint directly to Canon and waiting for the answer!

Gonna keep you posted what they answer me.

Oh yes, that will be interesting.
