For less than the cost of a flash you can buy a "smart flash" empowered
P&S like an Olympus Stylus Epic(mju) which will automatically do flash
fill whenever you want it and take up less room in the camera bag.
The trouble with this approach is that you suddenly can't do anything but
fill-flash. With max aperture f/2.8 at the very best, and a GN of 7 you're
only OK because of the wide angle lenses. For flash work I would rather
have a longer lens and the same energy put into a narrower beam of flash
light, even if that meant making the camera less compact. That said, my GR1
is a very handy camera to carry in a belt pouch, just not as a flash camera.
