 Sorry, I should have mentioned.  The flash was external and mounted on a 
bracket of some kind.  Even my Sunpak flashes accept a mains power 
adaptor.  Do newer flashes have them (eg AF500FTZ)?

 It looked quite big and expensive.  I was too far away to be able to tell 
anything more but it was definitely not a consumer-grade camera.

 The place he was from is pretty well-known down here so I presume they 
can afford good gear, and that they know what they're doing.  At my 
graduation about 2 years ago they took all the pictures on film without using 
a flash (which is good because I dislike flash).  I'd be interested to see just 
how those prints come out.

Cheers,
