ok no matter what Camera you use... either on board flash or a hotshoe flash will work wonders, we just did this at my local photo club meet,
Nearly all newer P&S (in the last yr or 2) will allow you to use Fill Flash, and adjust the flash output so do a test shot with fill flash on normal, if the person is filled with harsh light stop the flash out put down try - 2 for eg: this will also allow you to use a F2.8, f3.5 aperture making for a more desirable background (blurred) hope this helps for next time
