Will old konica minolta external flashes work on sony digital slrs?
I have recently purchased a Sony A 200 digital slr camera and was wondering if I must purchase a new Sony external flash or can I use an older konica minolta flash? Or for that matter can I use a different brand external flash? Thanks in advance.

Maybe. As you know, Minolta had a proprietary shot shoe configuration which was adapted by Sony.
Call the Sony help line 800.222.SONY and ask about your specific flash unit

I suggest contacting these Sony Alpha user groups and asking them.

Some will work, and some wont. Sony has a flash compatibility chart located here:
