[email protected] and I'll help you a little bit. I've spent the last 11 months figuring out the lighting with my Nikon CoolPix 5000, and think I finally have it down. It's a whole lot less forgiving then 35mm, that's for sure. I use 4 lights now, Nikon SB28DX (similar I'm sure to your 420ex flash), plus 2 Sunpak 522's, and 1 Sunpak 322.
