I'M IN THE DARK HERE!

Most (if not all) digicams nowadays come with a built-in flash.  Higher-end models even come with the option to attach an external flash unit that synchronizes with the press of the digicam's shoot button.  Two things to consider when evaluating the flash unit is distance and the number of flash modes it supports.

Low-end digicams have a low flash power that typically range to a few feet (perhaps 10 feet or less).  You can get more for mid-range and higher-end digicams.

Flash modes refers to how the camera utilizes the flash circuitry according to given light conditions.  All digicams have an "auto" setting, meaning, the camera will activate the flash if it's light sensors detect inadequate or poor lighting conditions.  "Always on" and "always off" are also a standard for digicams with flash.  Usually, the flash operates at full power under the "auto" or "always on" setting.  Unfortunately, using this setting more often than not lead to overexposures especially if the subject is near the camera (an alternative would be to photograph the subject at a distance while using the optical zoom).  Another flash feature you may want to consider is the "red-eye reduction" mode, wherein the camera flashes twice (or more) before it actually takes the shot.  This reduces the size of the subject's pupils, which in turn minimizes the internal reflection that produces red-eye.
