Can someone do a quick check with their 60D or 7D (if you do have one)? I dont have 7D no more but I have 60D.

Nothing scientific but I did a indoor shot using the 18-135 kit lens at 24mm Av ISO 6400 f/4.0, the shutter speed my 60D selected was 1/25.

I did the same thing with X-E1 with it's kit lens. at the same/close enough focal length, same Shooting distance and same lighting evironment, A mode, ISO 6400 f/4, the shutter speed selected by the camera was 1/25.

I did another shot at ISO 3200 , f/4 and 60D selected shutter speed at 1/8 sec while the X-E1 selected shutter speed at 1/12 sec.

The 60D was in evaluative metering mode and the XE1 was in Multi Metering mode.

So that means 60D's ISO is also inflated? I did not hear much complaints or test reports about ISO inflation from Canon 60D users...
