I see the popup flash as useful when you haven't planned for a normal flash. It is certainly better than not having it, but it is almost always better to have a bigger flash available. So I have used it in a pinch here and there like you - mostly for family snaps.
Also for those who are doing wireless flash setups, it makes for a good master controller. -- Bruce Friday, March 2, 2007, 9:41:25 AM, you wrote: TC> Not at all in the two cases you mention.
