Inovative flash from Sony

Seems like Sony users won't have to fiddle with bounce addons in portrait orientation when using this flash.

Dang. That's cool enough that someone else should have thought of it first. The battery grip is still ugly, though

I'm still wondering why no one's built a flash with two hotshoes on them at 90 degrees to each other.

And I love the handgrip. More buttons is better than no buttons.

It's a great idea. As for the camera it does not fit in the hand comfortably at all and the grip makes it heavier and even less comfortable. We are only missing one button on the grip IMO AF. The K series cameras fit most peoples hands much better and even all the reviews comment on this whether they like the camera or not.

And their display turns as well? Clever.
