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.

OK, so you're a basic consumer-level photographer. That's great too, even if you don't understand potential uses for short DoF. But none of this would help me create the publication-quality photos I am currently taking.
