I'm afraid there's no PC socket on Rebels, and I think (but am not
sure) there is not one on EOS7 either. You can use studio strobes
on "slave" mode - i.e. they are triggered by the on-camera flash), or
you can use a remote trigger (IR or radio transmitter). I use one
myself and I'm very happy with it... Look at the Quantum site - they
produce good radio triggers. If not happy with their prices, call me
privately and I'll offer you a very affordable alternative (cheap,
reliable & much smaller, but with shorter radius - it covers approx.
10 meters).
Regards,
Gena
