A camera with the power to piss people off

A camera with the power to piss people off

You may think that the Canon T50 is a simple, plastic camera from the 1980's, but it hides within it the power to piss off serious photographers of every persuasion. Post about it in your average photography subreddit and you'll either get downvoted or ignored entirely, mention the camera in an existing post and you'll get backlash that is in no way warranted. Bring it up at a formal dinner and you'll probably get shanked.

Why is this little camera so divisive? Who knows, it's just a plastic box to hang a lens off of, but you can have hours of fun fucking off serious camera types just by hinting that it's as good as any other camera, including anything made by Leica, which it is. Try it for yourself and then run for cover!

Can anyone tell me if the stated maximum flash trigger voltages for cameras from specific companies are more guidelines or hard and fast rules? For example, later Canon SLRs are said to be able to take 6V but I recently bought an old Sunpak ring flash which I tested at around 6.7V and am wondering if I can use it on a Canon EOS 55.

My backup choice is a Pentax body, as apparently Pentax SLRs can take higher voltages.
