| Remarks | Important: [1] | ||||
* 2000D's hot shoe layout has been changed. It was introduced *without* X/middle contact. Later X/middle contact was added. If you are in the process to get such a cam and require full compatibility with studio lights and very basic speedlights/remote triggers make sure to get the latter one. Otherwise you may have to add additional hardware (more sophisticated remote triggers for example) at additional costs.
[1] Important note for 4000D/T100 users planning to use an external power supply: There is no recess/outlet for the cable attached to dummy battery! In order to use a dummy battery you have to create a recess/outlet by yourself. Thus damaging camera body a bit. You will find how-to/examples/tutorials on the internet.
