hotshoe-flash

| Jul 28, 2010 at 20:06 | comment | added | ex-ms | As a non-strobist, "small-flash" is not as obviously referring to all flashguns as "hotshoe-flash", which is pretty immediately obvious to me. E.g., Contax TLA200: small flash. Canon 580: not small flash. (Aside: is the distinction on strobist maybe down to the emphasis on off-camera use of these flashes?) | |

+1 - but personally I think I would suggest [hotshoe-flash] over [small-flash] or [speedlight]/[speedlite]. "Hotshoe" is brand neutral, and there are small units intended for studio use (such as small slave units and such), so "small" might not quite hit the target.
