Is there anywhere I can find samples of pictures taken with the built-in flash (of the A1) compared to those taken with an external flash (eg 3600HS)?

Just sold a 2nd hand 3600HS which I bought earlier to a collegue (at no loss :D). Still thinking if I will (ever) need it. Do you guys find the built-in (pop up) one good enuf for most occasion?
 

I'll post some this evening. Got a 3600HS(D) flash, so should make a good comparison. Want bounced shots or straight on ones?
 

Thank you ... I am interested to find out the difference as well, since am also considering whether or not to get a 3600 HS flash for my A1.

If you are serious about flash, you WILL need an external flash, if only to get bounce flash. Straight on flash, esp near the lens axis ( like the built-in flash ) results in flat lighting. But if you only use flash occasionally, you can live with the limitations of the built-in flash.
 

If u shoot people a lot, then an external flash is very helpful, especially under low light.... the external flash does offer u a lot more options...
 

but remember, regardless of which 'D' flash you use, the AF assist on the external flash will not fire and take part in the lens focusing. :sweat:
