Doug,
I agree. I would place the digital state of the art of digital
photography where electronic flash was when the available
units could either function well or work on the internal batteries,
but not at the same time.
They will get there as the hardware improves.
Look at the first electronic flash. You could have acceptable recycle
times, or run on the internal batteries, or enough light, pick any two.
I'm not a luddite, (I made my first digital audio recording in 1987,
and haven't looked back), but I like machinery that isn't fussy
or trailing wall warts.
Doug, which PX-625 solution did you end up with?
