Your not really getting much response cuz its a complex question.
Flash in doors is dangerous for shoots unless you got some good rigging for lights.
Also both those camara's digital which add to a problem in ways.
Good news is incredible quality can be achieved of course once your lighting situation is figured out..
PS I am not really a shooter but I have had the honor of tending a few set's and saw first hand how some things are done.Last edited by AlienQ - BANNED FOR LIFE; 04-07-2004, 02:24 AM.

If you have some work lights from the garage and use a sheet to soften the light is a easy way of adding and balencing light in a room.... Also if you have a flash unit on your camera you can aim it at the ceiling or bounce the flash of the walls instead of getting that hard flash look in your picturesComment

What they said.
It's really less the camera as opposed to your technique. Go look at a photo book on lighting so that you understand the concept of photographic lighting.

Not in your list, but I would go with the Caonon EOS digital Rebel/300D. Very nice camera for shooting with strobes.Somebody stole my damn signture...Comment

Often times I wonder why
There's love and hate, theres live or die.
When sickness comes I must decide:
When feelings go, theres suicide.

this sony is great working with flash.
but be aware that if you use it without in dark rooms using 200 iso or 400 than the pics got some noise.
and the new canon(the one with the red ring on the objective what it is called) is a great thing btw.ICQ # 316936927Comment

unless ur shooting amateur style, kill the flash now. flashes on cameras suck, as a general rule of thumb.
get good lighting, then shoot w/o the flash :D
(ps, i do know what i am talking bout, got the f717 etc)Comment

on camera flash is a loser for shooting skin, sure you can get an image, but all you will be doing is destroying the beauty of the model going this route.
luckily even the cheapest consumer digicams can be used with strobes if you use a little tricky technique using the on-camera flash to trigger a slaved flash.
take a piece of developed color film (the end piece that has been exposed to light and run through the chemistry---it will have an almost black look to it. cut a piece of it and use scotch tape to cover your existing on-camera flash with this nearly opaque film.
the purpose of this is to kill the light of the on-camera flash so it does not impact the image, but just allow enough light through to trigger the slave flash which we will bounce the light off an umbrella or large white board onto the model.
and then you will have the studio look with a cheap ass consumer digicam. (but you do need a strobe head---find one on ebay)Comment

OK, here's the good news...
We use a 5700. Awesome and easy to use digital camera. Factory flash is good for amateur style indoor pics as long as you have some supplimentle lighting around your subject.
I'm not an expert, but I can tell you from first hand use of the camera for the price it is a good camera.
Now the bad news...
The camera has been back to Nikon twice in the last 2 months for warranty repair. Both issues are known problems with this camera.
If you can hold off or spend a little more, look at the new 8700.
