Autofocus camera with sync socket ?


Is there an autofocus camera with a PC Terminal (sync socket) that is comparable to the Nikon N80 -- with out the price of the N90 body ($750)? I just recently bough the N80, and I'm upset to find no sync socket - is there another camera that will compare for the same N80 price?

  I don't know about the Nikon line, but the recently discontinued EOS 5/A2/A2E has a built-in PC sync socket. You might still find it new, but like-new used it sells for $400 or less.

If you really like your N80, just get Nikon's hotshoe/pc adaptor, the AS-15, for only about $20-25.

  Thanks so much - you've been really helpful: the hotshoe/pc adapter is only $12 at my local photo store (B&H Photo)...I assumed every SLR came with a synch socket - I thought I would have to buy an entire new camera! What a relief...You guys are really great - thanks again.
