Does anyone else notice that the exposure on the LCD is much brighter than the actual exposure? I took some shots at the lake with my 40D this past weekend. When I was shooting, the pictures looked fine and well exposed on the LCD. Then when I uploaded the pictures on the computer they were mostly underexposed by about 1 full stop. I have the LCD brightness set on the default setting (in the middle). Is it just my camera or is it a 40D issue?

The Histogram is your friend. Use it.

Camera LCDs are supposed to be bright so that you can see them outside in daylight. They are not meant to judge exposure--that's what the histogram and a profiled and calibrated monitor are for.
FWIW, I have the LCD on my D200 turned all the way down ("-2" I think), because it's way too bright even at the middle setting.

What they said: LCD is for composition and focus, not for exposure. Go turn on your television and play with the settings to see why; notice how different screen settings on the TV work better depending on how much ambient light is present at time of viewing.
