Canon sync cord alternatives

[IronWing]

I'm sorta, kinda, maybe thinking about possibly picking up a G11 and 270ex flash. Anyway, I was looking at the Canon OC-E3 off camera shoe/sync cord that Canon recommends and came to the price of US$60+ for this cord. I noticed that there are thrid party cords available. Does anyone have any recommendations for cheaper cords that play nice with Canon? Thanks.

Why not forego the cord altogether and get a wireless setup?

E-TTL

OP, just get whatever sync cord supports TTL and is cheap. They're all likely made in by the same factory in China anyway.

I've been using a Promaster or somesuch knock-off for three years when I needed something in a hurry and that's all my local shop had. Never had a problem with it.

Their website is kinda cheap looking, but the company is legit. Good products on the cheap.
