Do DSLR's have built-in flashes like most compact digital cameras do?

Mark Comon (Vice President, Paul's Photo, Torrance, CA) gives expert video advice on: What is the difference between a "compact" and a "big zoom" digital camera?; Will a DSLR or a point-and-shoot camera give me higher quality photos? and more...

Most digital SLR cameras sold today have built in flashes. So the low-level to mid-level digital SLRs have a built in flash. Your pro-level digital SLR never have a built in flash because no professional photographer will ever take a picture with a built in flash. We're always going to use an add-on flash because it gives us better pictures (no red-eye, better flash distance, the ability to control the flash output). You can choose built-in flash on your digital SLR or the better cameras where you have to add the flash later on.
