Reading mode: Light Dark

A little bit disappointed with my my first 30D pictures... :'(

Go to last post
1st 30D i got exposed perfectly.........was returned for a gazillion specs in the viewfinder.
the 2nd 30 which i have now is perfect, exposes perfect with and without flash.
mirrors my 5D to a tee.

it doesn't require any FEC as does the 20D and 30D.

That's not been my understanding from reading the 1D/5D forum. Take the following thread as just one example, there's several contributors reporting flash underexposure with the 5D.

Also the 10D and previous models had no problem either.

Not the case in my experience. I've owned a 10D and a 300D and both underexposed flash when used with a 420EX, just as much as my current 20D underexposes with the 550EX flash.

Whilst there will always be individual cameras which are calibrated differently, a tendency to underexpose flash seems an inherent feature of Canon metering.

I feel that the 30D is the best amongst the 300/350/20D with regard to flash exposures.

By the way, a friend of mine advised me to buy a lens hood to get the lens protected without having to use an UV filter or something like that...

Now, should I remove it when taking indoor pictures or is it useless?

Cheers,
