However, it does have a hot shoe for an external flash. It lacks a sync cord connection, however, so there's no provision for remotely-mounted flashes. There's also a little bit less flexibility in mode selection, once you get outside the pre-programmed modes. For example, continuous autofocus is only available in Sports mode. (This isn't *entirely* true -- if the camera detects motion towards or away from it while you have the shutter button halfway down, it will switch to continuous autofocus regardless of what mode you have it in. But you can't force it.) I think the 10D might also have a metal body, while the Rebel's is mostly plastic. Not sure about that, though. |
