You should also check your display settings. I once let a friend use my camera to shoot a concert in a dark room, and he felt the LCD lit up the space around him too much and was too distracting, so he just lowered the brightness on the display screen- this threw me off for weeks! Check to make sure your brightness is normal, but if the pictures are transferring to your computer darker as well, you have another problem like what Fwayne alluded to.
First, to test be sure you are in Automatic mode. The dial should be on the Green Box setting. If its on other settings its in manual mode and can be set wrong. take a test picture in this mode, If its looking normal, then you were either int he wrong mode or your manual settings were off. But if they are still dark try your ISO settings, if too low a number it will result in dark images. For example ISO 100 is perfect for outdoor daylight, but ISO 400 is better indoors.
Next try the F stop settings and arppreture. If things improve, you have found the issue. This camera is professional grade so it will do exactly what its set to do even if the outcome is not what you want!
Whe all else fails use the menu and reset the camera to factory defaults.
