Love these! Bounced flash has become my friend in these darker winter months of indoor family client shoots! Just had one recently where it wasn’t a super bright day, but you can’t tell from the sneak peek of the shoot (http://hollysissonphotography.com/2010/02/16/miles-the-adorable-toddler-toronto-family-photography/). Some of the images had bounced flash, some did not. Even when you have decent natural light (i.e. right by a window) bounced flash can help bring down the ISO and produce a much better quality image.

I just purchased the new Canon EOS 1D MkIV, and used it for the shoot linked above, and it is awesome. It would be ‘perfect’ if I could set exposure comp in manual, with auto ISO, hope Canon will change that with a firmware update. But what I can do is shoot in Aperture mode (as that is the most important element to me), use auto ISO, and then set the minimum shutter speed (but not perfect as it jumps from 1/125 to 1/250). It’s wonderful when shooting in changing light conditions, as ISO will just shift to maintain exposure. Works excellent with bounced flash, too, and if I accidently shoot two frames, both will be exposed correctly, non-flash shot will just have a higher ISO.
