Well, the principal is probably exactly the same in all the EOS cameras
that utilize evaluative metering. Maybe they should have specified the
number of zones for each and every camera and the write under the picture
that this is just from EOS 50e...
But all in all, this sounds pretty much what was written about EOS 3 in
the Technical Prochure. Everything from Canon points to the direction that
the evaluative is not just (weighted) average.
