That's likely because camera errs on the side of brighter. A picture that has been overexposed and then darkened has more information than one that has been underexposed - sometimes more than one that has been correctly exposed.

Higher exposure means less noise and better detail in the blacks in 99 percent of the cases. Ideally, one should edit the image afterwards. Which recompresses it, but it can't be helped with compact technology.
