Hi,
I'm new here and have done a search but, as my issue seems to be specific to my equipment, I didnt find anything that helped to any degree.
For info: I am an estate agent and have been taking photos of property for about 20 years - mostly point, shoot, and print, with whatever camera we had at the time, and everything has been fine, both with screen, web, and printed images.
However, I have recently started with a new firm, as an employee, (which is a new experience for me), and, finding that the existing camera, (Sony Cybershot DSC P73), has a minimum 38mm lens, I bought my own Nikon S620 which has a wide angle 28mm lens, (2nd hand on ebay).
The office uses an Oki c5650 laser printer and pictures from the old Sony look fine on screen, and print just as they look on screen - nice and sharp, same colours, and just as bright as the screen.
Yesterday, I printed my first set of property details using photos from the "new" Nikon S620 and, whilst the pics look great on screen, and on the web, the printed images are dark with a degree of fuzz, perhaps it might be called a bit muddy. I'm using auto settings in the camera and 5MP images, with no processing, (I have PSP4 so could do some simple processing if necessary).
I've been able to send an example to a professional photographer acquaintance, and he has said the image looks fine, (in terms of its' settings ???), and prints fine on their printer.
Any ideas why our old camera produces just what we are looking for, on a point, shoot, and print basis, (but not wide angled enough), whereas our more up to date camera produces a very poor quality print?
Many Thanks
Richard
