I got one of these Nikon SG-3IR IR panels with the macro flash kit, and
it has proven to be SO useful in a number of indirect lighting
situations. I've been taking photos of pictures under glass, and being
able to block the direct on-board flash while remotely triggering
SB-800s is a great thing. It is SO handy, I recommend one for anyone who
has a wireless flash.

That's why I'd rather use a high-quality P&S camera. You get enough DOF at wider
apertures and shorter shutter speeds so you don't even need flash. 98% of all my
macro photography is done using available light so the subject looks natural and
not like something staged in a lab from preserved and dead specimens. The other
2% where I have used flash were taken at night of insects and other subjects
(night blooming plants, etc.) where there's no other choice. Unless I shoot in
IR at hand-held speeds with my another P&S camera designed just for that
purpose. (You buy them that way.)
I find that all the elaborate work-arounds that dSLR owners have to do to
capture a shot, the subject destroyed by the use of flash, fairly amusing.
