Yup, they really are, but don't wait for the last minute to read the manual, you don't want to be caught out at the ceremony without knowing what it does.
Word of caution though, if you have any background on photography and know what you're doing / have any preferred metering / focusing method, just have in mind the light meter will follow the active focus point and bias the exposure reading in 3D-Matrix metering towards what's under that point if the camera is set to Single Point or Automatic. It'll behave if you put it in 3D-Tracking, though.

If you're a full auto shooter (which would be like having a gixxer and never taking it out of 1st gear...), then ignore what I said (which will just read as gibberish anyway!) and just snap away. Best of luck!

I know a little bit, not enough to get the best from it, i have used it before a couple of times, tbh i will probably mostly be using in full auto, but will try other settings etc while im sitting waiting for her to come out gowned up.
