A99 the end of flash photograpy?

That is supposed to say 'most people would use OFF camera anyway'

All that said, after reading your other posts I can see that you weren't generalizing the non purchase of the A99 down to just not having a flash.  There seems to be a lot more reasoning behind it, which escaped your original post. From reading just that, it seemed that the lack of flash (to shoot birds, nonetheless) was the reason for not getting one. Your decision seems entirely sound, to me...not that you do or should care what I think. HAHA!
