operative word being "Did"
not true anymore.
Film bodies, wireless flash was truly and a turn it on and forget it usage.
Digital bodies read the flash differently, not off the film plane and minolta never did get around to addressing\updating their flash system for digital bodies.
Canon and Nikon both changed\released new, flashes to better work with the digital body but Minotla never did,.
We heard "Rumors" about the devolopment of a new flash and that it was "almost" ready for release but Minolta "died" before that occured.
Now, the quesstion, among many other questions regardig Sony, is will Sony continue development of Minolta legendary Flash system or will Sony go for quick profit and market share, through camera body design and development?
I know which way I think Sony will go, but hope I am wrong.
I came to Minotla, years ago, due specifically to their tremedous flash system. All camera manufacturers have Quality Glass, just like they all have junk glass too, but Minolta had the best flash system, hands down.
Still does, whe it comes to Film bodies.
Nikon has the best flash system for digital bodies, though Cnaons newest flashes may turn out to be even better. Too soon to tell.
I think Canons will beat out Nikon.
That's why I switched to Canon.
