My experience with my GF1's internal flash was very favourable; it seemed to
have just the right coverage for people shots at parties.
I'll be at a similar (student) party on Friday; I'll report back on the
efficacy of that on the S100.
A benefit of the S100 is that I shall be able to keep it in my pocket at
parties; leaving cameras around at parties is asking for all manner of inept
shots taken by estudientes borrachos :-)
