Sure you can get fancy with some bracket or bounce but you have to be in the
mood for that. Holding a flash in one hand and a camera in one hand can be
awkward but the flash can just sit there on the hot shoe and it's a no
brainer.
Some people think squeezing off half second exposures wide open with no
depth of
field and no light awkward. Depends on what your mood is or who's paying.*

Cool comment Mark, I never knew you could mount a flash in the hotshoe :).
Should work OK just so long as you don't have a 24 mm finder in the hotshoe
already... And taking off the bracket which this makes necessary to reload
is simple enough!
