Re: Ken Rockwell prefers his 5DMKIII over his D800

In reply to Rumi Siddiqui, May 7, 2012

One feature that no one seems to think important enough to mention is the lack of built-in flash on the 5DmkIII. The D800 has it. Even professionals who usually carry auxiliary flash could find quickly available fill-in flash useful at times. Why does Nikon provide it on the D800 but Canon does not do so on the competing 5DmkIII?
