On camera pop up flash getting phased out?

6 years 5 months ago #545140 by Great Moments
I was talking to a rep last week with Adorama about the Nikon D850.  The rep was telling me that the manufactures are getting away from the on camera flash as it's a part of the camera that isn't used much by photographers.  

I know pro's very rarely will use it.  Surprised the others aren't using it.  But then again, the few times I tried using, I always had dark shadows from the lens in my photos.  Annoying.

Some of the higher cost (professional) bodies never had it. I rarely use it and wouldn't be too surprised to see it disappear on mid range cameras....

Why so serious?

Same here, surprised they kept them on as long as they did

The only lens you can use your on camera flash is a 50mmm, all others cast that shadow onto your photo.  

So, seems like a good idea.  Will that mean less cost?

No, they'll put something more costly in there, GPS, alarm clock, duck call....something else.

Why so serious?
