Re: No flash on EOS 5D - How come?

I think that when someone reaches a certain level of expertise, they don't use these little wimpy flashes.

The "wimpy" flashes are great for controlling off-camera flashes however. That has a lot to do with expertise: ligthing.

On the Maxxum cameras (including the pro Maxxum 9) the "wimpy" can do off camera TTL flash control over a 5 stop range.

Or simply, in manual flash, to trip slaves without tying up an add on flash or using a sync cable (which has its own inconveniences...)
