I'd prefer to not use flash and have some of the faster, but extremely expensive zooms or a family of even faster primes! But I am not a pro and in almost every case want to use the lens on my camera . . . and not carry a bag.

But, I have managed to make flash work well in many cases (not most!) with much trial and error with the 18-200. I typically shoot people indoors (family, friends and kids) at close-ish range.

I can leave the house with the camera, the 18-200 and my diffused, artculated Speedlight and make 90% of the types of shots I take. It's a general, all purpose set-up that I think would work for most amateurs.

FWIW.
