Some say an external flash is provided and some say there is none. What's the latest today?

My NEX-5N came from Amazon (delivered 11/7/2012) WITH a little bitty teeny tiny flash that sort of screws in the top. I have not used it yet but it was there. It IS a great camera.

The camera comes with a flash attachment which people are confusing with a real external flash unit that you can buy and attach. Unlike DSLR's you cannot attach an external flash unit to this camera. It can only use the flash that comes with it.

Yes, there's a very good built in flash, but you can add an external flash as well.

We actually bought this for someone else. According to the Panasonic web site it does have a built-in flash.

Eleclaw, Did you update to the latest version of Flash? From what I read, the 10.1 beta version of flash is the only one that will allow hardware acceleration.You could also consider using the Arcsoft Media Player to handle all of your flash videos. See about 2:30 minutes in on this video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ewqbz8QG3x8

Yes, USB OTG (on the go) is supported. I have tried flash drives and a web camera.. All good. I believe you could also plug in a USB controller into also.

No. It has a built in flash and a hot shoe for external one. This is the exact reason I bought this one instead of the Sony nex 5.

There is a pop up flash built into the camera that opens when it senses the need. There may be a way to purchase a seperate external flash to plug in as well- but I'm not certain. I would look at nikons website. It's an awesome camera. I wish I had gotten the all in one lens10-100mm

No, this model did not have a flash. I thought I would be OK without it, but I was amazed how often I wished it had one...

Well, it doesn't support Flash, so I don't think so, however, I'm not 100% sure! : )

I didn't install one. As a result the frequency of flash is higher, which doesn't bother me. Do it if you want the normal flash rate.

The camera itself has a built-in flash, but the kit does not have an separate, off camera flash.

It's sort of the reverse...Adobe is no longer updating Flash for newer versions of android.

I think it does not have a flash but I bought it for my grandchild and it is not at my home.

The answer is no flash and only has 1 front facing camera for self pics or webcam chats.
