The $20 Gary Fong Puffer Pop Up Flash Diffuser does an amazing job of avoiding 'that washed-out living dead look'. Though it is a little bulky and I'm not sure how much abuse it would take.

All the Rebels and mid-level Canons have pop-up flashes. You don't NEED to buy a flash... but you may want to at some point to avoid that washed-out living-dead look.You don't NEED to buy anything except an SD memory card to get started. I would suggest at least a 4GB card class 4 or 6. I would also recommend having more than one card.Suggested accessories include a memory card reader for your computer (this is much faster than trying to download photos through the camera), a spare battery (see SterlingTek.com for very good generic batteries) and a case.

Yes, it comes with a built in pop up flash, right where it says "Lumix" above the lens. There is also a hotshoe if you want to use a more powerful detachable flash.

So far I have not had a problem with the flash. However, most of the photos I have taken have been landscapes with good lighting so the flash hasn't been used all that much. Sorry I haven't anymore info and good luck.

thanks Emily,Your reply made it clear to me. I had this problem where I was a total newbie to DSLR photography and finaly deciding to buy the D40 as everyone said it is easy to use for a starter.however, I later found my self so in love with photography and I wanted to go further... I started to take photography classes and when I reached to level 2 I found my self lacking the regular features a normal DSLR usually have such as the inquires I mentioned in my previous question.Now I need to upgrade, and I thought to what this new D60 might have!a D80 is a better solution indeed. thanks Emily,Your reply made it clear to me.

Miss Woracheck: I take a lot of my indoor pictures without flash, but always include at least one with flash. Work with the camera settings--"Auto Flash," "Flash On," Flash Off," etc., and check out how the Portrait setting changes things. You have a wonderful camera and it has more features than so far I have used. Best wishes.

In low light conditions the flash will automatically pop up. If you choose to shoot in low light without the flash you can, just use a tripod to avoid camera shake and manually set the ISO higher. There are many lenses that fit this camera. It usually comes packed with an 18-55 mm lens. I recommend next you buy a 55-200 mm lens.

I bought mine used and the seller I got it from had the body only but it was like new. And for the kit lens, as I've stated, I didn't get mine with the kit lens but I will say I use the nex f3 with an la-ea2 adapter with Sony dt 35mm f1.8 Sam lens. It works beautifully for beginners. But I am an enthusiast and hobbyist photographer and I will get a semi pro or pro level dslt camera from Sony in future. You can visit my Facebook page to see my photos all shot with it. http://m.facebook.com/pages/KTan-Photography/144023702417316?id=144023702417316&re;fsrc=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com%2Fsearch&_rdr I bought mine used and the seller I got it from had the body only but it was like new.

The camera does come with a flash. You won't need it in most circumstances, but the flash comes with its own small case that you can attach to your camera strap if you so desire.

The camera comes with a flash attachment which people are confusing with a real external flash unit that you can buy and attach. Unlike DSLR's you cannot attach an external flash unit to this camera. It can only use the flash that comes with it.

I have this camera and love it. I rarely use the camera in Auto mode, since I like selecting a "scene" setting instead. Go to scene and just leave your camera on "landscape" setting for most things. You have lots of options to choose in the scene settings and if you turn the flash off, it will never pop up! If you are in a low light setting, choose night landscape, night portrait or the museum setting. Your camera won't need the flash!

I bought 4 and carry one use one on my office and have a spare and gave one as a gift excellent camera! it is worth what you pay. I almost never use the flash and they are used mostly in my office for skin and wound pics. Excellent camera. I'm not a pro but I think it shoots ok in low light. I use Auto 99% of the time with flash turned off. Good luck.

No problem. Just pay mind its a harsh flash. If you're planning on using the camera casually its great, but you might eventually want to go the extra mile for a nicer model for the flash itself. Two cents.

This camera does come with a flash. It's not built in, you have to attach it. It's a very short range flash, however, similar to the kind you would typically find built in a camera.

It's a low level flash The cheapest flash anyone could ever get. But over all the kit is good the d7100 is a awesome I would say this is a good beginners kit I am actually saving up to get a better flash but the external flash is awesome on the d7100 and if anything the cam performs well under low light

I'm really surprised at how well the camera does at low lighted events. I usually take both flash pics and no flash pics but find many times the pics taken with available light are better than with the flash. Hope that helps.
