[QUOTE="BackdoorArts, post: 550760, member: 9240"] Yes, it's a bizarre question. But not nearly as bizarre as the responses from people who, a) have never held the camera in question in their hand, and b) make completely untrue generalizations. "Best settings" are always situational, and portraits and landscapes would require completely different sets of them - which your camera will support, but no one went there. No one even asked you what kind of portraits you're doing - studio, natural light, street - and you didn't tell them. It's not an invalid question, but yes, it's bizarre, and also the kind of question I'd expect from someone moving from a D3xxx or D5xxx to a pro body with all its new functions and not from a D800 to a D5. I'd expect anyone whose spent any amount of time with a D800 to know how to get most of the way there and then, perhaps, ask something more specific. But again, my comment wasn't so much about your question as it was about the amount of "advice" offered with no basis in fact or experience. Anyone coming onto this forum looking for sound, logic and reason and stumbling onto this thread needed to at least read from someone that there's not much here to base any decisions on the D5 on.
