Thats the bity I hate the most about myK10D.
I can work around the ISO and AF performance - at least they are
predictable.
The first night function I shot with the K10d and my Metz 45 CL-4 flash were
a nightmare, it was so unpredictable. J just when I thought I had it set it
varied when I went to do the real shot. The exposures were all over the
place. I switched to the DS for the rest of the night and that worked much
more predictably.
I have worked on more manual control of the system, but full P-TTL is nice
when it works.

Thus i am glad to hear the good review from you, and its making the
K-7/D300s decision painfully hard, again.
How do you find the exposure in flash, i have the 360.
Generally much better. I have the 540. It has been overexposing a bit,
but that's easy to dial down. I've been shooting an open house here at
work with a wide variety of situations (small rooms, big rooms, open
conference areas under a tent) and the worst I've had to do is dial +1
to -1.5 on the back of the flash occasionally. What the K7 does NOT do is
anything like the K10's paranoid "oh my gosh, I see something bright in
the exposure (a mirror, a piece of glass) so I'll just quench the exposure
entirely and make the whole screen black" underexposure. In short, I'm
getting a lot more usable photos with the flash. Happiness.
PLUS it's actually locking focus - in a room dark enough to require flash.
Could never count on the K10D to do that.
