Did anyone else notice in the product shots for the new R50 that there doesn't seem to be any hotshoe pin contacts? When they launched the SL3 Dslr there was discussion about how they dropped the center pin contact so that it wouldn't work with 3rd party flashes etc. But this is even more crazy! With no hotshoe contacts this won't even work with Canon brand flashes. How is the hotshoe even suppose to work - it looks more like a cold shoe?

Anyone know what's going on? Maybe when the manual is released we can find out more.
