It’s the R50 that needs the adapter with EX flash because it’s hot has no pins.

Right. Just like some of its entry-level DSLR brethren.

I didn’t know that the entry level dslrs have this problem. I know of some won’t play ball with third party flashes because the central pin has been left out but they still work with Canon EX Flashes.

Oh right-o, that's it. Thanks.

I'll repeat though (since you left it off)...

I have a number of cameras with the new "accessory" hotshoe (starting way back with the original R6) and they all harmonize nicely.
