It mentioned how all we (as photographers) have tried to do is get MORE MORE MORE watt-seconds and now it's too much for our new digital cameras. Not only will they not stop down far enough, but you don't need to anyway - the chips are so small that there's tons of depth-of-field. A 240 w/s kit is almost too much. My Olympus 5050 will give me a decent f/stop range. If I back off on the power it does really well with my studio strobes.
