I want to shoot some indoor family portraits without much set-up time (family is impatient). The maximum size I plan to print them would be 5x7 or slightly larger. I've been using my Cannon SD 960 IS (12.1 mega pixel) point and shoot with just OK results. I also own a Nikon D610 that I pretty much use for landscape shots but I've never used for family shots.
I don't have an external flash for the Nikon other than the built in flash. Is there any benefit to using the Nikon vs the point and shoot? Would I end up with better pics using the Nikon on auto mode vs the point and shoot? I'm open to buying an external hot-shoe flash if it doesn't break the bank if it would yield much better results than the PAS. What are your thoughts?
