I have the Canon 7D as well as a Canon Power Shot SX130 IS. I use the Canon power shot in my turnout gear pocket and I break the Canon 7D out when we are standing around or there is no risk of damage. The 7D was definitely worth the investment. As for a flash mentioned above if you get a decent camera like the 7D and learn how to use it properly you do not need a flash 99% of the time. If you take a look at this gallery I took, I did not use a flash. It is all about finding the light you need and adjusting your camera settings. (It takes practice and patients).
