Hi All CS members,
anyone have info where to get the canon hotshoe cover?

Wouldn't the use of hot shoe cover disable the build in camera flash? The camera might thinks an external flash is on board and will not pop the build in flash? I am not sure since the 5D Mk II that I have do not have build in flash.

even if its plastic they also read it as there's flash mounted? :think:

I thought there is micro switch build in and the on board flash will get deactivated if a flash or the hot shoe cover is inserted?

isn't that a switch that was triggered only when the metal contact from the flash head touches the camera's hotshoe? or did i get my facts wrongly? coz i know my friend shoots nikon have the hotshoe cover on and the built-in flash still fires when needed. or is it just canon? or the hotshoe/cover design?

I am not totally sure but if you take a look HERE under Custom Hot Shoe Cover (CHSC) section, you will see the mentioning of hot shoes that are design for a specific Canon model (although these are not EOS cameras but S5 IS and G7/G9 prosumer cameras) to ensure the hot shoe cover does not activate the micro switch to disable build in camera flash.

they also mentioned about the special design, so have to buy exclusively hot shoe for canon

yup, and I don't think Canon made hot shoe covers for their EOS cameras. The genuine Canon one that I have is from my old Canon AE-1/A-1 film camera which has the word Canon on it.

Yup, that's where I got the info from. I used to own S5 IS and is familiar with this online store.
