Doesn't that kinda defeat the purpose of having a small, easy-to-carry camera? :rolleyes:

Since the A95 doesn't have a PC connector or a flash shoe, you'd also have to jerry-rig something to let you fire that off-camera flash (and without letting the pre-flash set the off -camera flash prematurely). If you want to try that, get a G-5, G-6, or an EOS. You'll save yourself many headaches.

I have a little Vivitar flash with a slave bulb. I hand hold it or put it on a nearby table or on the floor aimed at the ceiling or a rear wall. My slave flash is so strong, the bracket would make no sense. As it is, I have to experiment a lot to get a not-overexposed image.
