Flash or Tripod?

Mostly doing indoor/event photography, and wanting to get into night, landscaping, I am torn between which way to go.

So, I was wondering if you had to give up your flash or tripod, which would you give up first?

flash

Honestly, I don't think I could give up either. Different tools for different jobs.

Put it this way, in challenging light my first option is (usually) flash.

But it's not an either or question. You need both a flash (or three) and a tripod, and a monopod and a beanbag, and you also want IS, high ISO, and a nice low f/number.

And then of course, it depends

dang I am so torn. I feel like I should jump on the gitzo rebate before it expires...

Like everyone else mentioned, they're both valuable tools, often used in different situations. If I could only have one, I'd choose a flash. If there's no light, a tripod won't really help.

If I had to choose one or the other (which thankfully I do not) I would get a flash and save for a nice tripod.

I got the tripod first, because I don't usually take many indoor shots/portraits, but now I find myself wanting a more flexible flash than my 300TL which only has 2 power levels on my 450D...

bought the GT2531 this morning!
