I have often wondered about the different metering modes, particularly the difference between evaluative and centre weighted average. The manuals don't explain it well at all.

I found this article which explains and shows it very well.

Feel free to add any advice or tips to help demistify the metering modes mystery!

Thanks Etherial

I am with you. The manuals are not much help with this.

I did a blog on metering modes (http://desmond-downs.blogspot.com/2010/01/metering-modes.html) as well , weighted toward Nikon matrix metering of course :)
