I have noticed looking a lot of 30D pics on galleries do look underexposed by 1/3 - 2/3 when EV is set to 0.
pic below + 1/3 EV.

Thanks for replying Nick. I was thinking of sending the Camera back but after playing with it a bit more I think it is ok. I always shoot in RAW so pushing the exposure slightly is no big deal but it is nice to get it right in the Camera.
I have been out today with the 17-40 lens and exposure look fairly good, maybe 1/3 under. I have noticed it more when using Partial metering with my birding lens but dialing in + 2/3 has done the trick. I think I will have to start looking at the histogram a bit more.
That photo of yours is very nice but I notice on the exif data that EV comp is 0.
Cheers
Roy
