If I started going to the Gym, the BOSS would make me work around the house
on her Honey Do List!  This way she thinks I'm weak and incompetent and
leaves me alone!  More or less.  ;-)

I was just pointing out that the pop up flash on the Canon has a very
strong spring, on the order of a Jack-in-the-box, in comparison to other so
equipped cameras I have tried.

Good God, man, get to the gym.

By the way, the built-in flash pops up only when the camera is set to shoot

in one of photodope modes or if one presses the "pop-me-up" button.

The Nikon had the bundled zoom lens/body package, a f3.5 I believe, and the
Canon had a similar lens.  Both were much dimer than the 28-70 f 3.5 Leica
zoom on my R4SP.  One of most annoying things about the Canon was the force
which the pop up flash deployed, it almost jumped out of my hand it was so
great.  This also seemed to be an automatic thing in the store lighting, I
could not figure out how to defeat this function, although I would guess
this can be defeated by some special function being turned on.  Where as
the Nikon pop up flash deployed with much less force, and only when I
released the latch.
