I knew it. ---------------------------------- > (on topic) I've had to replace Canon shoe-mounted flash units twice (different cameras, different flash units) because the part of the flash unit that goes into the hot shoe on the camera has cracked and eventually broken. I think it's due to the weight of the flash unit being held on to the camera by such a small piece of plastic. Has any one else experienced this problem (with any camera/flash unit?). If so, have you found a way to correct the problem? I'd appreciate any comments. Thank you. Marilyn
