The lack of TTL flash control is a big issue for me.  I'm often using 
flash with tiny subjects about 8 meters away.  Auto flash is no 
solution.  I'll have to use manual calculations, or if possible use the 
F mode to adjust the flash power, though this only works if the 
distance and aperture stay fixed.

Not too happy about this being left out.  The other pro Digi bodies 
have TTL don't they?

Rick.
