[QUOTE="NIKONIAN_DREAMWEAVER, post: 543131, member: 36003"] Load up 2 sd cards. Shoot both RAW + jpeg fine/large/optimal quality. Don't be lazy, download a free copy of Capture NXD. It'll retain your camera settings for you in both jpg and raw. If you don't want to improve your photos today, you can just use the jpeg's for now and later on, when you realize how much you can do with the software after-the-shoot, you can retrieve the raw photos and make the improvements. I consider post-production work (software) with my RAW images to be 50% of the photographic process now (with digital). I come from decades of film camera usage. I've taken images that would have been throw-away shots with film, and made them into award-winning photos just by tweaking some of the camera settings after-the-shoot. There are very few photos that I take, that I can't improve somehow with the photo editing software. I run everything through Capture NX2. [/QUOTE]
