Re: R50 - no hotshoe pins??

I asked Gordon Laing (Cameralabs), who has reviewed the R50, for any information he could offer. Unfortunately he hadn’t checked the functionality of the R50 shoe and apologised. As noted above, on the other bodies with the new shoe, the standard Canon flash contacts are present, and you don’t actually need the AD-E1 adapter, except to maintain weather sealing. I do wonder whether the adapter would actually work on the R50 - what would it connect to? My suspicion is that the shoe is only for mounting a microphone.
