The online descriptions of cheap ring flashes tend to list compatibility with the hot shoe in my Sony a7 iii, but tend not to list their brightness nor recharge time. Expensive ones tend to list compatibility with many cameras but don't mention Sony (and do highlight brightness and recharge time).
How standard is the physical and electrical interface of the hot shoe?
The pictures of the hot shoe contacts, across camera brands, make them appear to be physically compatible, but I haven't found a clear statement of that, and I have no clue about electrically compatible.
I will be buying a ring flash, probably a cheap one (under $100). But I'd like to understand better before making my guess.
