I cannot answer your Oly's Super FP sync question as I do not have any detail about it. For example, did Oly Super FP allows TTL metering? It did have OTF TTL, but in using Super FP high speed sync, does it have TTL metering as well or did it revert to manual fixed output?
The key to High Speed Sync as implemented in P-TTL is that it can have TTL metering at the same time; you can even have multiple wireless high speed sync TTL.
Sure, and both have abandoned the systems, even and particularly in their most expensive bodies.
Because this is the most efficient way for TTL metering for multiple wireless situations.
And don't insist on that it is my imagination. I have all the manufacturers agreeing with me. Do you?
Oly high speed sync is TTL auto capable.
In fact, your logics are all incorrect from the beginning, that is, flash metering has NOTHING to do with other flash features like high speed sync or wireless control etc., as I have repeatedly told you for times. You've just mixed things up illogically.
You should know about the working principles for each of the features you stated plus how a flash is actually working for the metering and exposure control. Here is an old article of mine to explain all these, you should understand all these before going to argue further:-
P-TTL Vs TTL
Afterall, it is not all manufacturers support your supposition, it is just that they have taken a new approach to build camera system, just like Pentax and Nikon both have deleted the aperture ring in their latest lenses. But actually even they keep the aperture ring, they can yet make an automatic lens! Now that your logic for your argument is simply that "just because the latest lenses don't have the aperture ring, if they keep the aperture ring, they cannot make automatic lenses", which is exactly like this! See it now?
