Spot metering is found on the 1D series Canon cameras (if we're just talking about Canon systems here). It meters 3% of the image area around your focus point. I think the _ _ D cameras go down to 7%.
Canon Mark II and III = 3.8%
Canon 30D = 3.5%
Canon 40D = 3.8%

From Canon White Pages.

So what would be closest to spot metering? Center-weighted average?

Partial Spot is between 8-9%

Center weighted average would be next, followed by Evaluative.
