Don't want to get into this too much since this is a thread about 5D 2 rumors, but you are just plain wrong here. There is some value in having a popup flash in situations where you cant use a proper flash (like taking your kit on a backpacking trip, etc.), but to actually use a pop-up instead of a speedlight for weddings, parties, etc? What a joke. no offense, but I would never , ever, hire you again if you shot my wedding using a pop-up flash. I've done a lot of this kind of work, and a pop-up flash would be ridiculous. The shots look like garbage, there isn't enough power, and wide angle shots become simply useless. Most of the shots on the previous page look like what I would expect from any point and shoot that allows you to drag the shutter. Anyway, back to the rumor mill....

What it boils down to is that if you need to shoot social stuff professionally, whether it be for press or weddings or what have you, ring flash is the most flattering (almost) practical option, while built-in pop-up flash is the next best, by virtue of the flash bulb being close to the lens. Anything else is a bit student, and interferes with your ability to respond, and capture the ephemeral heart of the event.
