( read:
total speculation) the matrix metering on the Nikon F100 is more 'accurate'
than the R8 when I had that camera.

HOWEVER....

Having been badly burned by the Matrix metering and flash on a recent job -
remember that if you've got a bright/reflective background and/or some dark
subjects, the otherwise brilliant matrix metering's going to be
fooled.....shot from above, group of about 20 people - about 25% of them
black and dark hispanic - light ceiling and walls....Arrrrrrg! And, yes, I
should have dialed in a stop of override...:-(
