On Canon DSLRs -> Find 'picture style' in the camera menu, enter it, and scroll down to see 'user def 1, user def 2, user def 3'. These are three in-camera processing settings that you can edit yourself. Scroll to user def 1, hit 'disp' and you will see 4 bars that you can edit. I have changed saturation to +2, and kept the other 3 bars the same. This gives a nicely saturated shot straight from the camera - the first step in a polished, professional looking shot.
On Nikon DSLRs (from kenrockwell.com, excellent website) -> Press MENU, select SHOOTING MENU (camera icon on left), go right (into the menu selections) and go down to the next page to SET PICTURE CONTROL, go right to the four standard options, and click two down to VIVID. This gives a nicer, more natural and professional result.
So there you go - a simple way to get better shots straight off camera. This has certainly helped me get shots that pop when I do event and sports photography - I dont have time to go through 100s of photos and edit them all, so this saves time and gives a great result.
You can have a play around with these settings - my user def 2 is a sepia high contrast edit and user def 3 is undersaturated+high contrasted for another cool effect. Check them out!
