One benefit that gets rarely mentioned is the ability to stick a flash on the DSLR, point it to the ceiling and do indirect flashing that's properly metered by the camera. This makes such a big difference for the image quality of indoor portraits!
- kevstev 6y agoHaving a flash that can fire upward is such a game changer when taking photos I have a hard time understanding why this wasn't an option on point and shoots and even built in flashes on DSLR's for years. Maybe its about differentiation, but if just a single manufacturer created a model that you could adjust the flash to point upward, people would flock to it after seeing the results.
- ValentineC 6y agoI'm guessing it's a combination of having to engineer an extra hinge, which could affect durability, and not wanting to cannibalise the sales of their external flashes.
