[QUOTE="whistlingpete, post: 214219, member: 16781"] Welcome to my world when I got my d7100 - LOL. I was used to using consumer DSLR and just thought the menu system would be "better". Was I in for a surprise. best to you Don. Enjoy. Yes the d7000 and d7100 have virtually the same menus. I use 14-bit lossless raw because it has the most data - it seems I've read that HDR had 4 times the amount of data of 14-bit raw. Sort of the same concept to me - get all the data so your post processing has more there for you to manipulate. The one thing I'm not sure about but I think I know the answer is all those settings, (except maybe white balance) have no affect on the raw data - they only affect jegp in-camera processing. A lot of people it seems are fairly happy with just getting jpeg's, and depending on your HHD space (mine's filling up fast), jpeg quality is pretty darn good. [U][I][B]My best advice to you[/B][/I][/U] - reading your posts one can tell you're an "I got an answer type guy", so get Darrel Young's book "Mastering the Nikon D7000". It's fantastic. I've owned my D7100 for a while now but this book is answering all my technically related camera questions. It's more than another manual - he ties together just about all the parts and pieces of how the camera works and your "why and what for" questions.
