It is possible that Canon no longer feels the need to add "RT" to the name and now just includes it as a standard, but that's assuming a lot on my part. I just can't really imagine a new flash without RT, especially considering the (relatively) low price of the 430EX-RT, so I'm not sure how this makes sense. I guess Canon could be releasing a very cheap flash to compete with Chinese knockoffs, but those have RT, so why not?
Really? That would be totally worthless without a wormhole finder. Seriously deficient.
(joking)
Interested to see what this "autobounce" is, but guess it could be that it detects the distance to the bouncing surface and adjusts based on that. Highly doubt the flash head moves on its own power, since that would suck batteries like no tomorrow.
Yeah, I was being totally facetious, obviously
It would be helpful if the flash could link:
1. Angle of camera and distance to subject
2. Angle of flash and distance to bounce surface
To calculate, based on some assumptions, like a ceiling parallel to the floor:
3. If the flash is not at the right angle for good coverage
4. Power level of the flash based on exposure settings
That would be pretty cool.

360 degree sensors evaluate the room and the subject, then a motorized head automatically rotates the flash to likely best exposure, based on your selection of 5 steps between "dramatic" and "symmetrical" 8)
Ok, well, here's wishin'
All with no camera shake due to inertial damping fields. Antimatter power cell not included.
The antimatter power cell also powers the interal antigrav unit, linked to the gyroscopic compensators in order give you a gimbal-without-a-gimbal. It also doubles as a personal floatation device when your airplane falls out of the sky. Innovation!
