Also you wouldn't have to contend with their stupid proprietary flash
hot shoe :-)

That's the biggest drawback. But it does have a PC socket and I have
an AF 240 :-)

If it's a holdover from the Minolta shoe that was introduced in the 80s, there was an adaptor made that would allow a normal hot shoe flash to be used. I don't recall if it had pass through circuitry other than the center contact, but I expect it did since Minolta Maxxums originally used a conventional hot shoe, with the improved shoe being introduced a few years later.
