He said that competitors to the Canon Digital Rebel EOS that do have spot metering are the Nikon D-1 and the Pentax "First D", though they are slightly more in price.

Michele; All the Nikon digital SLR's have spot metering, including D70, D100, and D-1 series. On the D70 the spot metering is 1% of the frame through which ever focusing segment you have selected.
