They're obviously not going after serious photographers by making this hot-shoe mountable. I take a lot of photos with an off camera flash, but I'd have to take this thing off if I wanted to do some walk-around photos with my SB-600 or SB-800.

That's a deal-breaker in my book.

Too bad Nikon doesn't offer Bluetooth connectivity in their newer cameras. Now THAT would be killer.

@Ripley29: My reply/comment above probably hadn't posted yet as you were writing yours. Nikon says, "Attaches to camera's accessory shoe or a camera strap via strap adapter GP1-CL1"

Hotshoe mounted? WTF?

So I guess users are relegated to using the on camera flash or using the IR trigger on an off camera flash. Frankly this wasn't very well thought out.

@SgtBeavis: Actually you don't have to use the hot shoe. From Nikon's site:

Attachment: Attaches to camera's accessory shoe or a camera strap via strap adapter GP1-CL1
