One quick tip if you're using the flash on a P&S is to use something to diffuse the flash. Simply hold a piece of white paper or thin plastic or something similar in front of the flash and you'll almost always get better results.

Ah, awesome idea. I'll try taping a piece of thin paper over the flash and try it out sometime soon.

Works well. Experiment with different weights of paper. Wrapping tissue or thin toilet paper work well.

And if you're in a really creative mood you can play around with coloured paper.
