Google Search: Having used a digicam for 1-1/2 years, I think the most important thing you
need to be able to do is meter off of darker areas of the picture so that
you get a good exposure. This is even more important than with film, which
can also have the same problem. In short, you need an accurate spot
metering, then the ability to lock that metering for use on the whole
picture. If you have a camera which will record in RAW mode, and you use
that mode and post-process the picture, this is not so much an issue.
