The most whining I've seen is that there is no improvement in the 1/180th flash sync speed. I find this a bit humorous, being an old fart, and wondering how we ever got along in the 1/60th of a second film camera X-sync days. There was a manufacturer that attained 1/125th with a vertical focal

I have sympathy for the only 1/180th sec flash sync whine because I could benefit from faster there too. It would mean being able to use a flash or two to overcome bright sunlight. The Fuji x100s has a leaf shutter and ultra fast x-sync, like 1/2000th sec, and apparently it's astounding shooting

i use the high-speed sync function with the K-5 and AF 540. It works well at close range. I find it most useful when shooting in daylight where the sun direction can't be managed. True sync enables a more powerful flash burst I believe, but the high speed option on the AF 540 works well. Plus,

Absolutely, George, and it works great -- but only with a single flash, triggered optically or on-camera. But I'm strictly using radio triggers now and often multiple lights, so HSS is unfortunately just a novelty act for me now. Here's a macro shot I took using HSS with off-camera flash,
