The main factor is that a lot of people will more likely use fast lenses
with an EOS 3, which will end up blocking any built-in assist light or
built-in flash. I wish that you could set the external flashes to engage
the AF assist light only, like Pentax flashes do. I think that would be
quite helpful in some situations. I don't think it would cost too much to
implement, but who knows why they don't.
