New three axis Flash Heads to boot?

[sulhan]

Based on the photos from the CNET site here....I guess the feature would be as follows:

Good illustration Bro...

Agree with your interpretation.

Had to said the design look bulky

Hmm, a flash on the bracket is more useful... this wouldn't eliminate all the side shadows.

Hmm, it'd be actually quite nifty if it's got a RF receiver unit, and brackets... but usually, we can see - that portion's usually filled by third party manufacturers... As said, some might not need it, so all those bells and whistles as a standard would bump the prices up too much...

Yup RF flashgun will be answer my prayer!!... Only if it is RF flash.

3 axis flash is after all just 3 axis flash.

RF would mean that everything that the old Dynax flash system could do, the new system can do now plus more... pretty cool huh! If that's what it is... as of now, the flash doesn't even have a name or code...

Maybe useful for macros.

I was thinking of wireless, off-camera TTL, ratio flash, remote flash compensation, remote manual flash, lots of possibilities... u could really control an entire setup of wireless flashes at your DSLR body a la Nikon and maybe even more... trust the engineers at SONY to dream up of something special... especially if they retained all the ex-KM staff...

The new 3-axis flash will probably be launched with th A-900.

The F42 is a in between F56 and F36.

Looks like sulhan should be right about the 3-axis flash thingie. This one from photoshow 08 in Italy.

Read before in dpreview Sony forum, some guys there are skeptical of the 3-axis thingie.
