Didier, the R-D1's meter behaves very similar to the M7 in use. It does 
seem to get it wrong a little bit more than the M7 in tricky situations, 
e.g. in strong backlight, or a bright strip of lights etc. However, in 95% 
of the time (vs. than say 97% of the time with the M7), it's strictly a 
"use the AE and shoot" type of thing.
