Actually, how the heck do they do TTL flash on a digital sensor? If I
remember correctly, in the old days where the sensor is a strip of film, TTL
measures reflections off the film and adjust on the fly. Does that work on
sensors?

In any case, now we will return to the expected "Why are you using a flash
on the M?" vs. "I always use a flash" debate :-)
