I've heard people say that...but I doubt it's more time consuming than the shoot chimp shoot chimp method when you get right down to it.

Unless you want it to tell you what the proper exposure is...it cannot do that.

Absolutely gorgeous photo. I would love to learn how you lit it. Excellent lighting. Good job.

I prefer to use Program mode so I can tweek it when I need to but I concentrate on the moment rather that worrying about exposure. I am confident that the Canon metering system will hold its own.

Well I guess I am old school to the bone. I have a meter around my neck all the time. A meter can get you close all the time without all the tweaking. You have to do some, but it is always pretty close for me anyways. Have used it with all my cameras from day one. In film right up to the F6. And now with my D300s. Never leave home without it. :-D Heck, I'd still be using a typewriter if it would go on-line. :mrgreen:

Respectfully, then I'd urge you to see the video clip I posted a few posts back called "ambient light metering" or something like that.
It will show you why the Canon metering system won't hold it's own.

You probably shoot some of your wedding shots outdoors as well. I shoot mostly wildlife and use manual whenever the light is relatively unchanging (clear sunny day or even layer of overcast). However, when the light keeps changing (clouds moving around and sun goes in and out), I switch to AV

Agreed...but how does this change the amount of light in the room?
