Do you miss a built in flash on the D500?

[QUOTE="hark, post: 624009, member: 13196"] I am another member who doesn't own a D500, but if I did, I wouldn't miss the pop-up flash. On only a couple of occasions since I switched to DSLR (fall of 2011) have I ever intentionally used a pop-up flash (and once unintentionally when I was shooting drama photos in the dark...when I rotated the lens, I accidentally popped it up causing it to fire). Pop-up flashes really don't give off a lot of light compared to a separate flash unit, and it sits too close to the lens for my taste. When I take photos at church, I use a flash bracket with a separate flash. Just today I ordered some triggers so definitely have no need for a pop-up flash. The only exception I can think of is someone like Scott Murray who built his own diffuser to use for macro. It fastens onto the camera and sits between the subject and the pop-up flash. The pop-up flash gives off the light. Of course, there are separate macro flashes (some are under $50) so even that wouldn't be a problem. [/QUOTE]
