You may be considering taking wedding pictures, maybe semi-professional or for your friends, maybe even professionally. Generally that requires an external flash, and even prosumer cameras don't have a way of hooking an external flash to it. There are sensors that you can set up on flashes, called a "slave", and what happens is when you flash from your camera, it activates the slave which fires the external flash. I don't know how well these work, but you can get them on the Internet and at camera stores, that is, that external sensor slave. And you'll need a more powerful flash to do anything more than generally 25 feet, and generally weddings are greater than 25 feet, unless it's a small wedding in a small church, or a wedding in a house.
