I have been on the Olympus digital forums a lot lately because I got a 
sudden interest in a C-8080. I was kind of appalled by a lot of the 
images on the digicam list because so many looked overexposed to the 
point of blowing out the highlights. It is mostly a very amateur list 
and they are quite pleased with their photos. I did notice a 
contribution by one guy with a site of very nice photos, but they were 
all multi metered and had a 1/3 stop exposure reduction. They still 
seemed a little "thin", but nothing blown out. In the E-1 list I found 
a similar phenomenon, though not nearly so pronounced, with an 
explanation. Apparently, according to some there, the digital ESP 
matrix metering system overexposes about a 1/2 stop and most people 
appy a permanent exposure adjustment to it. The other metering modes 
are fine and you have to either remember to take off the exposure 
compensation or set up a custom shooting mode.

Has anyone here noticed it?
