Thomas,
I have three boys, an N90, SB-28 and dog . . . I got the N90
because of durability. I know more people with their third P&S
camera. Catching the kids playing soccer with the fast autofocus
is great fun. It really catches them close up and in focus. As far
as the flash. You do have to carry it, but my wife uses the camera
also and we split up carrying things on hikes, etc. While at one
sons last performance in school, we sat about 30 feet back and
used a 200 zoom and got close and the flash worked great even
with the large room and distance. I do like just having one lens (28-
200) on trips because you do have enough to carry with kids( and
things tend to get hard use.)
