maybe u can use a diffuser, and paint the diffuser black... but it'll give a strange 'glow' on the pics..
coz the pop-up flash have to be fired to trigger the wireless flash

so frustrated bout this also..

another way is to have another flash (like f20, a simple one) on ur SLR and bounce it upwards...

so the f20 can be used to trigger the f42/f58 when paired with a200-300 series?

i think f20 only capable to trigger other flash on a850/a900 body.

Guys (esp the WX1 owners),

I am looking for a PnS to complement my Alpha for times when bringing the Alpha is not viable.

Am considering between Sony WX1 vs Panny LX3, which would be a better option in PQ and features? I hear great things of the LX3 (clarity, fast lens, bokeh, etc) but any comparison with WX1??

Price wise Sony WX1 is better at 1200 (+4GB card) while LX3 can reach 1500 (+4GB card).

Thnx for any suggestion.

WX-1 ISO performance is better than LX3, the high iso capability outperforms (compensates) LX3 F2.0 lens compared to WX-1 F2.4 lens.

WX-1 has the sweep panorama mode which you cannot find in LX-3.

However, you can control more setting on LX-3 easily since it has more dedicated buttons.

Feature wise, I would choose WX-1 over LX-3, since you already have an SLR, so you don't really need the full manual control.
