Just a quick note for those, who like me, have either pre-ordered the AD-E1 shoe adapter or are considering it. I just did a quick test of the R3 and a 600 EX II and it works fine, no adapter needed. As @neuroanatomist had previously said, it appears the only reason to add the AD-E1 is if you need/want to preserve the weather sealing. If you are okay with the hot shoe not being weather sealed when using a strobe, there doesn't seem to be any reason to add the AD-E1 for functionality.

Even though it's one of Canon's cheapest accessories, I'm probably going to cancel my preorder and put the $40 towards cards or something.
