Pair it with a fast film, preferably the Natura Classica 1600 (NP mode only works for ISO 800 and above) and you’ll get natural-light images with sharp, faithful colors, fine details, and a very smooth grain. Say goodbye to washed-out effects of the harsh flash!

To me from looking at specs/write up it looks like a happy snap that has an auto-adjust exposure feature for whatever is in focus, the likes of which you could get manually on an SLR if you were remotely competent.

exactly...
if you REALLY want something "so light-sensitive that you’ll never need to use flash again," i suggest this 35mm nikkor that opens up to f/0.9. yes... it has an f/stop lower than 1!
put it on yr F-series body of choice, or D300 and higher if you can afford it. then get some tmax 3200 and push it a stop to 6400.
i don't have this lens, but i have a 50mm f/1.2 and i really like the way pushed film looks. i use 3200 tmax sometimes in broad daylight, with a red filter to drop the light 3 stops so i don't max out the shutter speed... it gives a really chunky grained stipple effect.
