Default Nikon flash vs Canon flash

I've been trying to understand the differences between the way Nikon cameras use hotshoe flash and the way Canon cameras use it. Has anyone here used both systems? If so, how do the two systems compare regarding ease of use and flash consistency?

Default Re: Nikon flash vs Canon flash

The default and/or automatic settings suck for both systems. "Auto Balanced Fill Flash", for the most part, doesn't work consistently. I haven't used the Canon system enough to draw a meaningful conclusion, but they both seem to perform just fine when you are the one making the decisions for what the thing's doing.
