I recently bought a Nikon d60; I've used it about 5-6 times so far, and it seems to be producing jpgs which are very flat and somewhat washed out of their colour. I previously had 2 small digital cameras (1 panasonic lumix and 1 samsung) and I believe their results were a lot more impressive.
Has anybody else run into this problem?
I showed the results to a friend of mine who is really into photography and he said (having agreed the results were not good) the answer was simple and that I should move to raw. I'm happy to do that if necessary, but first I'd like to get to the root cause of what's going wrong with my jpgs.
I rang Nikon's customer service people today and their counter argument was that the camera sits at a level above a small digital camera, and whereas the small camera's pictures are fully processed and full of immediate impact, that isn't the case with the d60. He explained how there is an image optimisation menu which allow me to make the jpgs more vivid and the other alternative was to shoot in raw.
I'm puzzled why the camera in it's basic form (with touching an image enhancement menus) is producing jpg images which are substandard to those from smaller, less expensive cameras.
Interested to hear your thoughts and any advice you might have on this one.
