I am coming from the point-and-shoot world where generally, the only time I used the built in flash was when it's bright and sunny out, and there is a shadow problem or if the photo is lit from behind or above. I am deciding between buying one of a few different Canon DSLR models.
1. Does this generally also apply when using the built in flash on a DSLR? OR will it produce produce better results when using the flash than with a point-and-shoot?
2. Will an external Flash do a better job when taking pics of people, or of gadgets, or through glass?
Thanks in advance for your help.
