[QUOTE="NVSteve, post: 274397, member: 13248"] This. There is a huge amount of latitude for adjusting images in every which way during post, far more than I've encountered on anything smaller than FF. With smaller sensors, I would always hit the maximum adjustment of something, but it was never enough to fully bring about what I've wanted/how a particular scene looked in real life. I generally don't have to fine tune anything outside of the import settings I have set in Lightroom, although there are instances where I really need to tweak an image quite a bit, and I will say this again, nothing has come even remotely close to the latitude afforded with the D600 RAW captures. But, I've shot exclusively in RAW since day one beginning with a Canon Powershot S30. Can't say anything at all about how well the jpg engine is or isn't. It all depends on what you like to shoot, if you PP a lot, if you are super pixel critical and what you expect out of your images. I've gone through countless samples shot with the D7100 and I think they all look great for the most part. One of the additional bonuses for me was that my previous go-to travel & backpacking camera was larger and heavier than the D600, yet it was a 4/3rds sensor. Now I have something smaller and lighter (though not as robust or well sealed) and I no longer worry if I'll be able to push/pull shadows or highlights enough. [/QUOTE]
