Laura the longer lens is a certain must, for just as you stated... distortion.
I have struggled with the lack of auto focus too, (for those not familiar with this camera - the reason we can't do this is it needs the proper amount of light so the flash will go off if needed, and we can not over-ride this function)
I have done OK with the kids, what's helped is having a multi burst flash card. Check and see if yours says this, it lets the camera reload and shoot much faster.
Also, in my humble opinion... anyone shooting digital for reference should throw out their printers! Invest in a good monitor and put it on a model stand. You lose none of the good detail that you purchased your camera for in the first place, and you can blow it up really big to see little things like the corner of an eye!
I have had mine for awhile now and I still struggle!
