Thank you for the comments gentlemen but unfortunately the camera DOES lie.

The light levels in the BoB Hall are just as bad as ever. It only looks light as a digital SLR with a 10mp sensor is doing what a DSLR with a 10mp sensor does best. Making use of the light that is available. Exposure time is in the 3 to 5 seconds region, but should be longer but I don’t have a tripod.

I was having trouble trying to frame a subject in the viewfinder, as well, because I couldn’t see it and I was chopping off the nose and tails.
