David,

your problem is not the camera! You are shooting INTO the light hence the figures are dark. Shoot FROM the window side not at the window. You'll see a big difference even if you don't use a tripod and release cable

cheers

PS.. then we can comment on the colours! :wink:

You've got the light right now! Detail is fine. One shot is a bit shakey but just reshoot.
Are you using a tripod and release cable?

Colour of the uniforms looks absolutely fine which was your original query.. in my opinion
