TTL is good - awsome? I will admit that it is very handy. The one weakness is that it is measuring reflected light just like a meter - so you have to be aware of too much dark or too much light subject matter. The flash meter doesn't have that problem. I use manual when I have the time and TTL when I don't. But I will agree that having TTL available is a major improvement of the camera.
