Three Sony accessories in Stock

Back in June Sony announced three new accessories along the new Sony NEX-C3 camera. I don’t think I ever told you that all the three new items are in Stock. Here are the links:
Sony VCT-55LH Mounting Bracket with Accessory Shoe Amazon, Adorama, B&H, J&R, eBay.
Sony LCS-AMB/B Alpha Soft Carrying Case Amazon, Adorama, B&H, J&R, eBay.

8 months ago |@Type Zeiss That is very true.
All other camera companies that have a hotshoe have the traditional one. By having a proprietary hotshoe Minolta/Konica/Sony alienated all other flash gun makers. I don’t think that was very smart either. I know there are better flash guns in the market.
