I agree completely but a shoe flash just adds a lot more bulk when walking around town.

What you are saying about spot metering I have found to be true. I just assumed I hadn't figured it out yet. Basically if the subject is shaded and the background is bright then a flash must be used. I guess there is no "way around that" after all.

I also just purchased a Metz 76 MZ-5 Digital Handlemount TTL Flash. I don't have my shoe connector for it yet so I haven't been able to play with it. I also have my Canon Speedlite 580EX II Flash from my Rebel that will be compatible with my new Mark III D.

I guess I'll just have to start packing my flashes even for daytime shooting.
