Hi all. Am glad to find people that use Nikon equipment for their photography.The D7100 bought two months ago is my fourth Nikon dslr, I traded in my D7000 towards the price. being used to images from my D7000 I found the images from the D7100 dark and muddy. I am using the 16-85 nikon lenes that was on the D7000, to check the lenes I took images with my 35 lenes same dark and muddy. I find that images from the D7100 require more work with Capture nx2. Would be very interested on your view why these cameras vary so much. Thanks.

Thank you Mike. My images are shot in raw, and all have been through my software. I dont know if raw images will email, if you send your email I will try as I am glad of the assistance. Thank you.

HI When I took my first images with this camera (of my garden) I was surprised how dark muddy and unsharp they where from my D7000, this lead to taking images with all settings auto green p a s settings plus landscape in scene, there where some slight variations but not massive. Green auto with flash looks better when indoors.thanks.

Traditionally many Nikon DSLRs under expose a faction on their Factory Settings and you can safely push the EV compensation up 2/3 stop... (It varies a little depending on specific model).

Examples will help.

I recently moved from the 3100 to the 7100. I'm still predominantly on auto no flash with largely auto-focus (the body is great for driving my big lens) and a Nikon 18-300 lens. No issues at all. I challenge anyone to tell from my Flickr page when I made the switch (without cheating!). Must be a setting thing but, without your particular information, we are powerless other than to guess. Maybe take it to a professional camera shop for them to look at it with you if getting examples up here is a challenge.
