Canon 7D exposure compensation (1 Viewer)

[Marcus Conway - ebirder]

I have noticed that the 7D seems to underexpose more (when compared to xxD and my 1D) when at -1/3. As such I've found that I don't need to set to the stock -1/3 exposure when shooting in Av.

Anyone else noticed this difference.

I use +1/3 or even +2/3 as a standard starting point when using evaluative metering on the 7D - mind you I like to make sure I am 'exposing to the right' (ETTR).
One thing to consider with the 7D is that the metering has a heavier bias to the focus point than previous Cameras.
