[QUOTE="jbross, post: 553678, member: 42121"] Hello Everyone: Thank you for your time in reviewing my question(s). I have owned a couple of Canon SLRs, but this is my first DSLR and my first Nikon so I am getting accustomed to the new terminology, etc. When the D3300 dropped below $500 with some extras tossed in, I couldn't resist. Up to this point, I used a bridge camera and a couple of point-and-shoots. I do understand all the fundamentals and generally shoot in RAW and use Lightroom for post. I took the D3300 out for a walkabout last weekend and took 30 +/- photos and I am basically pleased. I have it set at Auto WB, Auto ISO and I use the M, A and S modes primarily. I am fairly pleased with the results SOOC and only modest corrections in LR were necessary. This is a new camera and I have a big trip planned, but I see there are some firmware upgrades: Current firmware is C = 1.00, L = 2.009 Upgrades available are: [B]Distortion Control Data version 2[/B] Ver.2.013 2016/02/02 [B]D3300 Firmware[/B] C:Ver.1.01 2016/01/26 Are these essential upgrades, i.e. will they make a large difference in my results? The reason I ask is that I would like to take the camera on an important trip and if I can postpone the updates until after that trip, it would be easier. If, in the experience of some proficient users, it will make a big difference, then I will try it. Thanks for your input and for taking time to read my question. Sincerely, J.
