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.
