Good day to you all.
I have two GP-E2 GPS receivers, one that I use with my Canon EOS 5Ds and the other with my older EOS 100D with communication through the hot shoe.
I recently bought another second hand APS-C body, the EOS 2000D.
I was somewhat disappointed to find that the 2000D, despite being more recent than the 100D, cannot communicate through the hot shoe with the GP-E2 and from what I have read since then it seems that the 2000D needs to be linked to the GP-E2 through the hard-to-find USB cable (type mini B to mini A) ...
Well, I tracked down and bought two suitable USB cables and tried them out on the 100D and 2000D bodies and to pile disappointment on disappointment the 2000D does not seem to detect the GP-E2.
I've tried each of the GP-E2 GPS receivers with each of the USB cable and both work correctly on the 100D, but not on the 2000D.
I've just tried three different USB type A to mini B cables to connect to my computer and the computer never detects the presence of the camera. Firmware installed in version 1.0.0, which seems to be the version dating back to the body's release in 2018.
So I'm beginning to think that the problem might be either a damaged USB connector on the camera body or a problem with the firmware. Has anybody had similar problems with this body and its USB connector?
