I assume you are speaking of landscapes. I usually shoot in RAW, in which case i don't worry to much about the settings since I can adjust them after the fact. If shooting a landscape in JPEG that I plan to post process, I use Adobe RGB (1998) color profile, mimimum sharpening, and contrast. This affords me maximum quality in the final image. You can always increase contrast in photoshop or other image editing program. Sharpening is always done at the end in photoshop (after resizing the image). If I want to shoot landscapes but want to minimize post processing, I shoot in sRGB III, auto contrast, auto sharpening. As another poster said, the key is to have special light. With great light, you can make just about any setting work (except if white balance is totally off). BTW, I usually set the camera at auto white balance, though if I am shooting jpeg, i may set it if the preview images on the LCD screen look off color.

Hi Jeremy,
thank you very much for your field review, very very interesting.
I also have a D 200, which I love: back to reflex photogarphy, with
digital flexibility, at this level of quality is a dream. And I
also love to take lanscapes shots, with results that are by far
very different from yours. Hope I an improve.
I have a question: I am always "struggling" on the different
settings to be used, contrast, sharpness and colour mode in
particular.
Could you tell me which you thing, by your experience, are the best
for your shots?
Thank you very much!
Ciao

Thanks, I just submitted images to Nikon for pre-approval. Tech support person I spoke with said it sounds like they will tell me to send in. Jeremy

Dear jeremy.

Hi there saw your banding, that should not be there, I had the
same, you wont notice it at 100asa until you apply sharpening, try
1600asa and look in the shadows, it can be got rid of, mine went on
return, you deserve it, as your pictures look great, but would be
spoilt when upsized, try some of the raw files with adobe camera
raw, it shows the banding up if you have it, even more easily, I
think the nikon software surpresses it.

cheers

This might be a silly question to some but I need to ask never the less. When you see minor banding as in Jeremy's nice review, and if you interpolate the image for larger prints, will this cause the banding to be more visible in a final photo?

Oh, and amid all the chaos, it's nice to see someone say something postive about the D200 for a change.
 
I assume so, though haven't tested it in a print. Has anyone else around here run that kind of test?

Hi Kantucky,

Thanks for the positive praise on Jeremy's article. We are all very proud of it. I will not touch the banding question, but as for 'saying something positive,' after having read Phil Askey's review, I feel that he confirmed all of the positive things we have been saying. It is an awesome camera. Is it perfect? No. However, it seems pretty close for most things.

Hey Jeremy,

Beautiful child. Congratulations on everything. I am surprised that you had time to put all these things together. I hope now that you are done with your article that you will continue to be part of the NWP experience...when you have the time in between changes, of course.

-JM
