1. Flash work. Though histograms on digital are, 2. Anything you need an incident meter for.
Otherwise, a spotmetering camera will do fine.
Protip: Don't ever stick your on matrix metering if you're shooting in manual. It'll be telling you an exposure you don't know how it got and you won't be able to make a good decision on what exposure settings to actually use. Ideally, set your camera to spot and point it at something you want medium grey. If you don't have time, use center-weighted average. There, you know what it's doing and can make an intelligent decision on if and how to deviate from the meter reading.
Also, with digital, histogram is really better than any lightmeter, because ideally (when shooting raw, which you should be) one overexposes digital files and pulls them in the raw convertor for better image quality, and the goal is to overexpose them 'til something blows.

>pro's wouldnt guess exposures unless the had too.
Lol wut? Most photographers who pay attention while shooting can guess exposure with no problem. Never hurts to check it with a meter, but still.
