[QUOTE="Kamper, post: 11533, member: 3754"] imnunky, Welcome to the the ranks of the D7K club, there is/was a learning curve for me also as I upgraded from a D80. I bought the battery grip also as I had one on my D80 and I like the extra juice and comfort of the grip. Today I have just over 1000 shutter actuations under my belt. As for the firmware update, you need someway to get the file update on your SD card, so I guess the answer is yes, you need a reader. The update is only for Live View or Video and I only saw one bright red pixel in very low light. You will have time to update later if you have a problem, keep in mind if the update goes bad it could render your camera inoperative so make sure you are ready when you complete the process. As for learning curve, keep in mind that you have the ? or information button on the back left hand side of your play back screen.
