On the Phoblographer rolling review some strong negatives were expressed around the x100's metering. An example:

Field Review: Fujifilm X100 (Day 2) at The Phoblographer
I have not read anywhere else that this is such a big problem. It seems, though I can't be sure, that the reviewer is finding the metering to be a problem where the light is variable.
For those of you who have the X100: has this been your experience?
I have sometimes felt their reviews are a bit rushed and light, but am still curious.
Dear Fujifilm, we’ve got a big problem here. The metering on this camera is almost deplorable. What doesn’t help is that one’s finger can easily hit the exposure compensation dial and throw off the entire metering system. The camera has spot, evaluative and average metering. After talking this over with a co-worker, we concluded that Fujifilm threw out center-weighted because they figured that most photographers would use the center focusing point and recompose.
