I see, other lens also having the similar problem with built-in flash too...
In my opinion, it's a design flaw! Nikon should ensure that no such thing could ever happened. They should do a tougher test prior to launching their product! If the shadow cast issue due to build-in flash is unavoidable, then don't incorporate it with the body. Just like canon did.
Hope that nikon aware of the issue and pls doesn't incorporate the build-in flash unnecessary simply for some sales marketing purposes. It's useless! I would prefer to remove it!
I don't see canon 40D, 50D has build-in flash but similar range of nikon body e.g. D200, D300 comes with it! That really puzzle me but now i knew it's really useless for me! I would go for the one without build-in flash!
Design flaw? Useless? Please, not everyone carries an external flash with him every time and the built-in flash will be helpful in such a situation, despite emitting harsher light. And do you expect Nikon to find a way to eliminate the shadow cast from built-in flash for all their lenses? IMO, removing it is silly and gives the user no choice but to get an external flash even if they rarely use it.
The fact the Canon 40D and 50D do not have built-in flash means Canon assumes you already have one or forcing you to get one. So which company is thinking more about the needs of their customers?
