I find the SD15 easily overexposes highlights, like bright skies and highlights. Personally I like the center weighted exposure setting rather than evaluative.

Me too. Evaluative is easily fooled by many scenes, I reckon.

I tend to spot-meter and then to decide an exposure similarly to Adams' Zone system.

This Kodak chart is quite helpful in that regard:
