All the advanced cameras, as opposed to the Rebels, attempt to balance the flash level with the ambient light level.

What does "balance" mean?

Just that. The flash level is appropriate to the ambient lighting. This produces a more natural image that doesn't have that 70s disposable flashbulb harsh look to it.

If you want that look, go manual.

The Rebels, apparently (I don't own one) assume the flash is at all times the primary light source.

How do you know that?

Based on other people's descriptions of how they work, and their seemingly unmet expectations for the 5D and xxD cameras.

You know Wilba, as a big fan of your mythbuster articles here, I must say that I'm very disappointed to see you of all people helping to perpetuate one of the biggest Canon myths of all.
