Eh. In true Clubsnap fashion:
The problem that you are facing is simply that your camera equipment is not up to the task. It's time for an upgrade to a camera with more features and more megapixels.
If you have an F65, that's not enough, must get at least an F80. After all its features are very limited and you will outgrow it before long. Really, you want at least a semi-serious camera.
If you already have an F80, then the body build is a bit fragile, and there's not much difference from the F70, so you really should save up a bit longer to get an F100.
If you already have an F100, then you really want an F5. It may be heavy, but then you are at the top of the ladder and never have to upgrade again.
If you already have an F5, then you really want a Leica. Nuff said.
But seriously though, I'm surprised anyone bothers with flash. When shooting inanimate objects like teddy bears, since it's possible to handhold with an IS type lens for 6s, you really should never need to use flash and worry about natural lighting, etc.
I'm surprised it hasn't already been mentioned in this thread.
