Hi all. I'm a newbie here and have been lurking in this forum less than a month ago before deciding to purchase a DSLR (D70) 2 weeks ago in place of my P&S cam. One of the reason for getting this system is for my upcoming trip to Italy this coming Thursday.
As I've already purchased a 28-300mm lens for nature/land/city-scape and a 50mm lens for portrait and indoor shots, I'm wondering if anyone can advise whether it will be useful or economical for me to purchase and bring along an external flash in place of the built-in flash? I will be taking outdoor shots mostly but may need to take casual group photos at night or indoors. Will the built-in flash be sufficient? I guess this will be similar to using a P&S cam to take such shots, right? What other usefulness does it have for travel purposes that couldn't be accomplished by the built-in flash?
Thanks all in advance for you advise.
