ISO Questions Hi. I have the Canon D60, and shoot with a manual aperture of f/5.6. I found that I'm constantly increasing my ISO in settings where it's not even that shady. Even when I increase the ISO to 600 or above ,my shots are still coming out dark. I had the Canon Rebel and felt that if I left the same settings my images would have been a lot brighter. Anyone experience this?

Read the manual and check your exposure compensation setting. If you are not familiar with using a DSLR manually or the ability to use the camera settings, you may consider taking a course for the 60D or an exposure class (even better). What shutter speed are you using? If it's sunny outside, you should be able to shoot at ISO 100 at f/16 with a fast enough shutter speed (1/60 or faster) - aka as the sunny 16 rule. I shoot in the Pacific Northwest and overcast skies are the norm, so I often shoot at ISO 400 or more so that I can get the Depth of Field (like f/22 for landscapes) with a fast enough shutter speed for hand-holding. But I prefer to use a tripod so I can use longer shutter speeds like 1 second or slower and keep my ISO at 100 or 200. I also shoot full frame (5D Mk II) which is better at higher ISO's but you should not be having this problem with your 60D. Hope this helps.
