Pretty much, unless it is out in the open sunlight.

Double check your exposure compensation value, as described on page 81 of your owners manual. It should read 0.0 as a baseline, and is not re-set when you turn the camera off. If the underexposure is a recurring problem, you can use this function to correct it, especially as you get used to the way your camera is metering the exposure.

Hope this helps.

Where is the used FF market? Very few and far between it seems...and at $1000 and more. :|

I guess it means that people are generally happy once they go FF and have little reason to sell for upgrades.
