I find spot metering on digital bodies almost pointless. If
lighting is tricky I'll shoot some and make adjustments to my
settings from the histogram info.
In a way, it still is an option. Meter and adjust exposure for
conditions, then you're ready to shoot when the opportunity presents
itself. If I'm shooting on an autoexposure mode, I know how to set
the compensation beforehand. If I'm shooting on manual I've obviously
had time beforehand.
Spot metering is something I use when I have lots of time.
Pre-metering and knowing the exposure conditions is what I use when I
have to react quickly and don't have time to fool around.
