Originally posted by Tesla I want built in flash also. I don't see the big deal of adding one.. If you don't use it fine, but at least it would be there for people that want it. The Nikon 610, 750, and 810 FF cameras have them. So it is possible to do.
ETA: Maybe they can add a way to lock it.. for those who keep accidentally popping up the flash..lol.
Given the choice k3 size FF body no flash or d800 sized body with inbuilt flash I would give up inbuilt flash.!
In-built flash only ever useful for remote triggering or low power fill in Pro type shooting. Any other use (full flash illuminated) results in very amateurish results due to the small light source, direct beam.
There is nothing you can do about that GN<20 and .5cmx1cm freznell will deliver sub par results always so have no real convenience factor on a pro oriented camera
You want quick and dirty flash you shove a fgz540 on it, if your 'flash' shooting you shove a trigger on and fire multi remote reflectors snoots etc
Just as it wont have articulated LCD or 'user' guided menus its unlikely to have inbuilt flash as the cost (size to inc capacitor etc) far out-ways any gains for users who would never use it 'convienant' or not the IQ cost is to great.!
