Artur,
I think it is a problem if the camera shoots at, say, 1/30th, because at
that speed the ambient light will affect the final photo, almost regardless
of what aperture I set. It's quite possible to have a situation where there
isn't enough light to shoot at 1/500th, which means I have to use flash, but
there's too much ambient light to shoot at 1/30th, because I would have
severe camera shake. I have this problem even when the flash sync is
correctly set to 1/100th.
I do usually drag a tripod with me, but my subject matter is usually too
dynamic to allow me to make much use of it, which is why I do most of my
shooting handheld.

Come on:) With the focal length of 500 mm it actually doesn't matter if the
camera chooses to shoot at 1/100, 1/60 or 1/30 - in terms of sharpness of
one's pics, of course. You should use a tripod/monopod anyway... But it DOES
affect balance between the flash light and the ambient light, especially in
case of slower films...
