You want the HVL F32X. There are flashes for the Sony DSLRs but you will have to ask your dealer if they will work.

I got the A-100 from Cameta Camera on ebay, and it came with the Sony HVL-F36AM flash. It's worked pretty well...thought I haven't taken the time to truly learn to use it.[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][/FONT]

Here's their Ebay store: http://stores.ebay.com/Cameta-Camera_W0QQssPageNameZstrkQ3amefsQ3amesstQQtZkm

They were great to deal with (I actually called the order in rather than bidding) and are a BBB member.
