[QUOTE="nickt, post: 356742, member: 4923"] I rarely shoot jpg. But if I did, I would choose vivid. The reason being, if I am shooting jpg, it would be some quick pictures of whatever at my wife's request. The vivid shots pop a bit and she is happy with the look. Like J-see said, it can be too much at times. Consider trying shooting raw. Then you can decide later what adjustments to apply. Try your free Nikon view nx2 software for awhile. View nx will apply your camera jpg settings right from the go. Then download a Lightroom trial and get ready for a whole new sub-hobby of post processing (if you like it). You can automatically apply simple presets for when you don't feel like processing. For black and white, I would definitely shoot raw and convert. You get endless opportunities to try different adjustments. Not that I am good at it by any means, but there are others here that are expert at b&w conversions. If you go with the b&w jpg, you get what you get and can't do too much with it. [/QUOTE]
