To be completely fait, I should point out that lots of "Rebel-class" cameras pop up and fire the flash whenever they think it's too dark, whether the user asks for it or not. Don't know if the Rebel-D falls into this category but someone told me that the D-70 does. Of course, they may have custom settings that allow you to override this problem, but many "Rebel-class" photographers (<grin> isn't that a great insulting phrase?) wouldn't know how (or why) to do this. -- Mark Roberts Photography and writing www.robertstech.com
