Well, in that case, I'd still say it has nothing to do with the 
difference between cameras, since the lens is going to cover all of the 
sensors in question just fine - because they're identical physically. 
It's rare that there is absolutely no data reaching the sensor. And I 
have yet to detect a significant difference between the EOS D60 and 
D300. Though I haven't shot gemstones fluorescing under longwave UV and 
shortwave UV light yet. I haven't done any extremely long exposures 
with it either (15+ seconds). I guess now I'll have to do just that.
