exposure very inaccurate on EOS 10D?

I have an EOS 10D that frequently snap photos with one to two stop
over/under, judging by the histogram. This inaccuracy extends to the flash.
About half the photos are like this.

Now when I take photos with it, I have to check the histogram, adjust
exposure and flash exposure, then re-shoot the same shot.

It has been this way ever since I got it. After upgrading the firmware, it
is the same. Has anyone experienced this?

Also, with a 550EX attached, sometimes the flash goes into stroboscopic mode
for half a second when I'm previewing the photos on the camera.

This is a frequent occurance with Canon EOS products. I have heard
this particular complaint too many times, from too many different
Canon owners. Say what you will about Sigma SD* cameras, but exposure
is always dead on balls accurate. At one time, Canon actually was a
quality camera manufacturer. Once they got into the EOS line, things
started to "about face" for them. It's sad and pathetic what has
become of Canon.

I guess that's why they continue to increase their market share
every year.

And btw,

That's such a crock of bull. This entire thread is a bunch of nonsense. I
am a 10D owner. I'm quite pleased.

Yeah right.
