>>256777 >Sigma do make flashes for the mount (with built in wireless i might add). Also the flashes are PC-socket driven too, and the A700/900 have the correct plug, so NO U. Does Vivitar? Does Canon? Does Nikon?
And the A100, A200, and A300 don't have a PC socket, so they're SOL.
None of what you're saying is "this isn't a disadvantage". You're just saying that it's not a *huge* disadvantage. Which is true, but it's still a disadvantage. Minolta could've made a standard-hot-shoe compatible dedicated shoe like Canon and Nikon and so forth did, but they decided that if they were going to fuck their Manual Focus customers in the lens department, they might as well fuck 'em with flashes too. Sony could've rectified this when they took over, but they didn't. Both of those were dick moves. Blah blah built-in wireless; Nikon has it too, and Canon can has wireless flash with a $20 widget.
But again, not a huge disadvantage. Which is true of all of the disadvantages of modern camera systems, which is my fucking point--they all have issues, none of them are really all that big all told. Just fucking accept when there's a valid complaint against your camera system and don't get all fanboyish.
