Well, the built in flash, as is typical of most built in flashes in
digital cameras, isn't that great. But, you can slow the shutter
speed
down in flash mode enough to make decent night shots. For the price,
it's actually a really cool little camera, has LOTS of features that
more expensive cameras don't have, can take video. I've bought a 1GB
card for it, and can take 90 minutes of good quality video with it,
or
hold hundreds of pictures.

Learning to use flash properly is one of the major challenges in
general photography. The built-in flash on most cameras, not just the
less expensive digitals or film units, isn't very powerful, and tends
to light up only the center portion of what you're shooting, and that
not very well. Also, the small built-in flash units really have no
punch; they cannot reach out any significant distance to light up a
subject or a scene.

I've been told by professionals that I shoot "damned good portraits"
of people. Well, they're ok, but I have a secret. When I want a good
head and shoulders of a subject, I take that person outdoors in
flattering natural light. You can't always do this, of course, but I
try.
The SB800 packs some punch!
No doubt about it. Too much for me, so I bought the SB600.

Too much? That makes no sense. If there's too much light, don't use a
flash.

Ub, John...nevermind. I keep forgetting, you're not interested in
discussions that involve intellect.

The first sign of losing a discussion........start the personal attacks.

Hee-hee.
