Not true, the *ist-D does, not as well as my old LX but it's close
enough a lot of the time.

TTL flash metering is supported by the D (built-in flash when using

using a compatible dedicated external flash unit. Due to the nature
of TTL flash metering, it must be reading "off the film/sensor"
since it is determining light levels dynamically at the time of
exposure.
None of the DSLR cameras use off the sensor metering. This is due to
problems with the reflectance characteristics of the sensors. They
do TTL metering by measuring a preflash.
