Even while Pascal is probably right. I hear this "too bright" the second
time now, yesterday someone else told me the same for a D3100, but I am
yet to see example RAW+ExportedJPG+CameraJPG to "proof" it.

How much more bright is it for you? Is it extreme that the picture looks
already very wrong, or just a small difference? If it is really extreme
that this could already be called "very overexposed" looking, then it
would help if you would export a JPG from dt and give us this and the
according RAW and Camera JPG.

Because if it is really too bright, maybe this is some distribution
where the color management libraries / available profiles /
i-dont-know-what have some issues.

Markus, which distribution and version are you using? Is it Opensuse
12.3 or "tumbleweed" by chance?
