Shoot RAW and you won't have to worry about this. Sure the PhotoLab software isn't that great, but it is a one click WB adjustment when you make mistakes. Yes, RAW files take up a LOT more space. I can fit 100 JPEGs on one 512MB CF and only 35 RAW files. I guess it's a trade off and, because I am not working pro, if I run out of space it isn't a money losing event like it may be with you. BTW, did you get the D-BG1 grip? It should be your first accessory if only for the vertical shutter release. Enjoy the D! Christian
