The opacity has to do with how the brush was made. If the images wasn't black - maybe it was dark gray - then it won't be 100% opaque. PS uses black and white and shades of gray for transparency in brushes. Make a new one and make sure it's 100% black - 0, 0, 0 rgb.

Are you using a mouse or a tablet? Have you checked the settings for your brush pressure?
