I tend to use Centre Weighted Average most of the time (which is as close to spot as I can get on my 350).
The only problem with the 350, is that Canon have buggered it up.

This is Centre-Weighted Average

This is Evaluative Metering

and this is Partial Metering
Am I the only one who thinks Evaluative and Centre Weighted Average should be the other way round?

I agree the icons tend to be misleading.
