Canon Hot Shoe Adapter 2 (HSA-2) OK for EOS 630?

greenspun.com : LUSENET : Canon EOS FAQ forum : One Thread

I am looking for a HSA for an EOS 630. Do I need to be aware of model number-are HSA-2 and Hot Shoe Adapter 3's all compatible with this camera? Thx for your help. Carol

The only difference between the HSA-2 and HSA-3 is that the HSA-3 has a locator pin on the foot and a locator hole on the shoe. These work with newer Canon cameras & Speedlites. The 630 doesn't have the matching locator hole on it's shoe so it wouldn't be able to make use of the feature anyway. Electronically they are the same so it wouldn't make any difference which one you use.

This is not true of the Off Camera Shoe Cord 2. The 600/630 is the one model that has trouble with the OCSC/OCSC2 in A-TTL mode.
