So not impressed.....

I've accidentally used a high ISO outdoors, but didn't blow my exposures. It just didn't dawn on me why my shutter speeds were so high at first.

I have done it a few times, the worst was the only time I have visited Cambridge. Like cdifoto I hadn't worked out why my shutter speeds were high!

I am guilty of good ol' iso 1600...

I took a nice fall trip to Traverse City, MI (Lake Michigan) and shot the whole dang thing in 1600 with my XT. All my images were flat... a bit blown out... washed out. They are salvageable but I never printed any. This is the best I could do to fix them: http://www.capturedbyb​rian.com/photos/traver​secity/

I don't think I've ever left the ISO mis-set (I hope not, it shows in the viewfinder, thankfully) but I have inadvertently changed exposure mode. On the 1D you use two fingers to change ISO (which I do without looking away from the viewfinder) but if you let loose on one button, the exposure mode changes - which is NOT shown in the viewfinder. Oops.

I've also forgotten to reset the EC and just plain missed it - which is sad, as it's in the viewfinder (no excuse there)... I'd chimp, and be like, WTF? Then realize I did it... Again.

Do you have Noise Ninja? If not, I'd highly suggest downloading it. It will go a long way in saving your images.

No I don't, but I do believe that I will download it...........

I'm very glad to see that I'm not alone in this!!!!!!!!!!

Happened more times than I care to remember before I started to reset it before putting it back in the bag and double checking each time I use it.

I've done that a few times but I've always had well exposed images..I always check my exposure reading before shooting..Did you?? Meter, compose, focus, shoot..That is the order of the day..

BTW,,,I can live with sharp well exposed "noisey" images but never with fuzzy out of whack clean images..

There's a sticky note on the inside of my camera bag now that says.....
CHECK ISO!!!!!!
