A-Digital-Eye Reviews Canon EOS 300D
A-Digital-Eye have got hold of a production version of the Canon EOS 300D and have posted their first impressions of the camera, along with a large number of sample images.
“Overall, we found the camera performed wonderfully and the final image quality is very comparable to the Canon 10D. We like the slightly more saturated colors along with the overall look obtained as the outdoor white balance is excellent and metering was very accurate. The images we obtained still looked neutral and mostly similar to the great results many get with the 10D. We did note that in some situations the camera can slightly overexpose the picture by about 1/3 of an F-Stop, with slightly blown out whites in a few instances (which we also noted in the 10D).”

I've looked at quite a few of those images, and at least 50% of them seem a little over-exposed to me. In fact, these are the worst-looking 300D samples I've seen.
Not so much of a problem if you shoot in RAW and dial in some exposure compensation, but it surprises me that the metering isn't quite right in a camera of this generation. Your average 300D user won't be happy with these images.
I hear that flash photographs tend to be underexposed by the 300D as well - I hope Canon will fix these issues with a firmware update in due time!
