| | has to offer.Flash is easyMost compact
|
| digital and film cameras is the ability
| |
| | cameras, prosumers and many SLRs have
|
| to see your shot on the inbuilt LCD
| |
| | built in flash. This is handy if you want
|
| screen either before you shoot or after
| |
| | to get that otherwise elusive shot
|
| (sometimes both). This can allow you to
| |
| | indoors or in the dark. But don't expect
|
| see any glaring mistakes, improve
| |
| | quality - external flashguns will give
|
| composition and retake shots that weren't

| | convenience of a built in flash makes it
|
| be put off by the cost of digital cameras
| |
| | worth the effort.What are "memory
