Received some info about a new flash that will be launched in the winter.
This is what I think the email was saying.

Maybe it will hold 5 batteries for better recycling time and longevity.
Hahah, fat chance… :)

There’s no “direct” conversion between mWh and mAh – it’s mathematically dependent on the voltage. You’d need to be talking about 0.625V batteries for 2500mWh to be 4000mAh.
Radio Mics have the ability to change channels within a band, so that rented and owned equipment can co-exist on a particular show. They can’t (normally) leave a narrow band, because the antenna and electronics are performance-optimized for that band. Example: wireless lavalier mics use the cable from beltpack to mic as the antenna, and they work horribly if the cable is bunched up.
Some of the new fractal based Antennas are very efficient and fairly wide band.

Would the Metz flashes built by Canon still work then or would they be messed with by Canon to be as consistent as their current flash line?
Be careful what you wish for…
