- spot white balance Shooting RAW almost eliminates white balance

Yes, but spot white balance is a major win when shooting JPEG, and
most will shoot JPEG at some point.

Sorry... what was I talking about? :)
I shoot RAW myself (In part, because I don't think of white balance,
since it's not a film thing), but I see the value of spot White Balance.
I actually missed a few. D has HyperProgram (Shiftable program), 4
program lines(Normal, fast, DoF and MTF) and HyperManual.
I'll bet I'm just blissfully ignorant of these other modes. Chances
are if I knew what they were and/or if my camera had them, I'd use them
and be happier. The single wheel and idiosyncracies of the P/Av/Tv/M
with K/M lenses are a bit annoying at times.

You use HyperManual with K/M lenses, as the DS/DL/DS2 offer Tv
HyperManual with those lenses. With A lenses, the D can set Tv, Av or
both (full program) with one press of the Green Button. HyperProgram
allows shiftable program in P mode (Essentially shifts into either Av or
Tv depending which wheel you use to shift the program, Green button
Resets). The program lines just changes Program Mode exposure bias,
Normal is the regular, Hi-Speed biases to high shutter speeds, DoF
biases to small aperture and MTF biases towards the sharpest apertures
based on info from the lens (MTF requires an FA or DA lens IIRC, as
those are the only ones which can communicate MTF data).
