    looks like they still have not fixed the underexposing issue...however if you decide to fix it...I recommend going to:

    I have the same camera as well as a 30D and this seems to help ALOT!

    How is there an "underexposing issue" on a manual DSLR?

    An underexposed picture means not enough light...fix it with more ISO, slower shutter speed or bigger aperture.
    Windows 7 + SSD:
    Mode: AHCI, default Microsoft driver or latest Intel RST
    Defrag: Off
    Hibernation: Off (use Sleep mode, recommend a UPS)
    Indexing: On (it only indexes a few locations, not your whole system unless you tell it to)
    Page File: On (set to the minimum of 16MB if you have a large amount of RAM, disabling not recommended)
    Prefetch: On
    Superfetch: On (RAM is always faster than an SSD - use it)
    System Restore: Off (with regular backups)
    Browser Cache: RAM Only, Disk Cache Off (How to with Chrome)
    Documents, Music, Pictures, Videos, Downloads to HDD (Public Libraries too, see above link about junctions)
    UAC: On!

    Interesting.Some seemed to report the firmware fixed this a bit, and I'm using 1.0.4 at the moment (factory).

    I do believe 1.1.0 is available, so I'll have to try flashing it tomrrow.

    I previously owned a Kodak C743.

    But from a "point and shoot" perspective, this camera does an EXCELLENT job IMO.

    This thing has all sorts of doo-hickeys I wanna get to know over time, but I'm getting comfortable with the current "modes" and how to access settings first

    I'll venture into other modes as I progress

    it has an inherint flaw that is hardware related...1000's of people were sending theirs into canon to have it fixed...this is a very well known subject on dpreview & the link i posted above...

    I picked up a Sony H2 pretty cheap so I could learn all the functions before jumping completely into DSLR. Rebel XTI is the camera I have my eyes set on next once I step up Unless something sweeter comes my way in that time.


    Put a black border around the one called "Josh". Its a nice shot
