Inside pics on Program always seem too dark...to print I have to really lighten a lot...this also happens with the 20D. Any suggestions?

I would simply not use the program settings when in that given lighting situation. You should open the aperture yourself and set the color, white balance yourself. Stay away from auto.

Thanks. I am not sure about using a camera on manual settings...i guess i need to learn. So strange that you can get a point and shoot digital to get a better shot (in the way of lighting) than these cameras. Weird. Thanks again.

I agree, Rhonda, it's very frustrating. I had a canon film SLR before going digital, and never had this problem on Program mode. But this digital SLR always seems to get it wrong - in this respect, it's a backwards step. True, manual settings can overcome the issue, but Program should get the basic exposure setting right - it's consistently too dark across the whole frame. Maybe the newer digital models are better.
