It will be quiet comfortable when exposure and flash compensation have option to bind them together.
My Canon G9 and G7 have flash and exposure compensation separated. Most of the time when I make exposure correction: Firstly I correct exposure compensation and after that I correct flash compensation.
This is quite uncomfortable, because It takes a lot of time.
On my old compact when I raised exposure compensation +1/3, flash was raised automatically +1/3 too, etc.... When it needed, it was still possible to change flash compensation, but usually it was not necessary.
