<<Actually, flash interfaces are entirely solid-state (except for the connector) with no mechanical parts whatsoever. This results in an extremely reliable, rugged solution>> oh? my $500 digital flash unit, purchased 6 months ago was just returned to the manufacturer as it was "defective". it wasn't dropped, mishandled, all that. return rates are higher. MTBF of 3 million hours. yah. it's probably NOT the flash unit that is failing, but an interface to the unit. nevertheless, the entire camera must be replaced. something is very touchy in those units, flash unit or not. used mine less than 50 hours since December. i spoke with representatives of Target (Dayton Hudson) about return rates on their flash units sold last Christmas. "high" was their response. they're looking at replacing several models. not a scientific sample, but i would imagine the same elsewhere.
