New 7000 is in my hands

Going through all the setting on the D7000 and I must say it is a lot more involved than my D5100.

One that I really can't find a consensus on though is the RAW settings.

There is Lossless Compressed or Compressed=====I picked lossless compressed. Is there a reason to choose the other?

The other is RAW bit Depth. Choices are 12 bit or 14 bit. One place I read that it did not really make that much difference so chose the 12 bit for smaller files.

My setting now is lossless and 14 bit.

​What are you shooting and why?

I use 12bit lossy on my D7100. Mainly because I can fit another 226 images on a 16gb card (297 images 14bit lossless vs 523 12bit lossy.). While traveling I need all the space I can get.

This article here gives an explanation of the different types. I'll let you draw your own conclusion.
