I've found that Jeff, I normally keep my D200's and D3 dialled back 1/3 of a stop in decent light. I don't use the D300S in daylight enough to know about that, but I see no reason to think it will be different

Well done Graham.

yes Robert I remember it well from previous bodies , d200, d300s, and d7000 all suffered from it if my memory serves me rightly , this one does seem a bit worse than my previous body , could be a combination of body and lens together , but not a problem as I'll just have to dial it in I think about -0.7 looks about right .worst way I'll just have to find enough for a more modern body :no::no::no:

Thanks Ian! Jeff that is a very good pix but I still think you are a tad warm, exlosure is spot on.I agree with Robert I keep -0.3 on some of the time but very often birds can be against light backgrounds on very bright sky and plus is the order of the day.

There is no doubt that pulling back under exposed is to be avoided at all costs, as Eric also agrees noise hits very hard.
