I've just bought myself a Canon G9 in an attempt to break myself into the digital world from film.
I read on one forum that you couldn't plug an external flash unit (as in Balcar, Bowens etc) into the hot shoe mount via sync cable because of something to do with the flash voltage frying the innards of the G9..has anyone else heard this?
I was wondering then (if so), the way round this would be to use a wireless transmitter mounted on the G9 hot shoe to hit the receiver/slave on the external flash unit.....?
