Yep. The "pro" disdain for pop-up flash is pure snobbery. I've seen some of Galen Rowell's climbing photos, taken while roped in half way up enormous rock walls and carrying just one body and lens, in which he used the built-in flash for fill. Using the built-in flash for fill has saved some shots I've taken while backpacking when I didn't have a separate flash (and it wouldn't have been practical to bring one). I *rarely* use the built in flash but for the photography I like to do I wouldn't want a camera without it. -- Mark Roberts Photography & Multimedia www.robertstech.com 412-687-2835 -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
