With a P&S you are not changing lenses. Its self contained and the better ones usually have enough manual controls that you can work around some things like dedicated flashes. Your Nikon flash would likely work on any body if you understand how to use it manually. May not talk to the camera body, but you control the camera and flash not the other way around.
Anyone that has ever had to deal with a tough project and a limited budget can know one thing. There is almost always a work around.

True. My last P&S was a Fuji, my current is a Panasonic.
I was rather hoping the Nikon P6000 would be right for me, because of the
ability to use my Nikon dedicated flash on it. But it just wasn't a fit.
(Probably wouldn't have used the flash on it much, anyway; the flash is
about three times the size of that camera.)
Maybe my next P&S will be a Leica M9...oh, wait, just checked the
estimated prices. Never mind. :-)
