    Regarding the Canon flash, from a Canon user. Totally true! The Nikon system is consistant, -2/3 is – 2/3 every time. With Canon, if I want consistant fill flash, I've pretty much given up on ttl fill flash. I find it is easier to just tweak the + or – in the manual setting till I like it, and then click away.
