And even then, it's just for casual snapshots. Forget about getting good lighting with the built-in. A separate bounce unit is a bazillion times better.
I only used the Pop-up for snap shots of the Grand Kids when I was visiting out of state.
That was when it "Popped."
I never used it for anything any other time.
Probably less than 25 exposures with it when it Blew out.
If I didn't have so much invested in Pentax Lenses I would switch to another Brand.
