You are correct - the closer the flash is mounted to the lens, the more *likely* you are to get red-eye in your pics....especially if you are shooting in a low-light situation.

Depending on how professional you want those pics to appear - using an on-camera flash typically results in a more amateur quality. If this is the effect that your going after that's fine. If your looking to make your pics just a little more polished and professional looking...I might suggest not using the on-camera flash and instead (when appropriate) go with one of the lighting setups I mentioned in a previous post above. You'll be surprised in how great your stuff will look with a little experimentation

Also, if your asa/iso is adjustable, go with something around the 400 range instead of 80 or 100. 400 asa/iso is perfect for indoor situations while 80 asa/iso is geared more towards shooting outside in available light. That alone could make a big difference in what your seeing.
