I doubt it affects your final image, unless you process it with ViewNX/CaptureNX.
Alright sir! Thanks CY.

Should be yes (unless Nikon applied it into the RAW file captured), RAW will ignore those settings.
Basically, when you capture JPEG it's it's processed by the camera based on the profile and settings you choose (e.g. Standard, Landscape, Portrait, Vivid, etc and whatever tweaks you applied). When take RAW, you can still apply those profile later with ViewNX or CaptureNX or if your camera have in-camera raw processing feature, you can then apply different profile to get different results.
With RAW file, it's like RAW meat and you can cook it to your preference.
With camera processed jpeg, it's like you bought the raw meat which already pre-cook inside the oven with 'preset' settings and ready to eat. So, if it's not to your liking, you can further add your flavorings, etc. but limited to what you can do.
Yup I do understand that. Just that why the reds is not good enough or close to what I see on camera at least. I only use LR so far, tried ViewNX and CaptureNX ..but I dun like the tools in it ..hehe.
Maybe it is due to my cheapo light bulbs that I use for my mini studio (I shoot in light tent), plus the Flash (sometimes YN-560 or Nissin Di622MII). For the bulbs, I use 3 Osram/Philips 24W CFL's (125W equivalent), one softbox and lastly however the room is 'slightly' pink color (lit by cool white fluorescent bulb on ceiling).
Maybe I should experiment with with my X-rite Color Checker Passport and see where did I do wrong. Some product shoots, I'm lazy to shoot the Color Checker card, but then the red tones always take up my time during editing.
Thanks Andy.
Add on : Oo btw, most of the time, my pictures are developed in 'Adobe Standard' under the Develop Module > Camera Calibration section.

The best 3rd party lens would be a Carl Zeiss..
worth or not is depending on what you are shooting.

Is your camera color profile an Adobe RGB or sRGB?
Added on May 19, 2012, 11:02 pmQuoted from Mr. Kenrockwell
"Adobe RGB is irrelevant for real photography. sRGB gives better (more consistent) results and the same, or brighter, colors.
Using Adobe RGB is one of the leading causes of colors not matching between monitor and print.
sRGB is the world's default color space. Use it and everything looks great everywhere, all the time.
Adobe RGB should never be used unless you really know what you're doing and do all your printing yourself. If you really know what you're doing and working in publishing, go right ahead and use it. If you have to ask, don't even try it."
Just double checked, on camera it is sRGB. Yeah I did some reading before on sRGB vs Adobe RGB (and even the CMYK for printing stuff)... I rather not touch those settings. sRGB would be more suited for my usage.
Thanks Calvin.

Calvin, Want to ask d200 compare to d80 which 1 is better? D200 got weather seal protection and can shoot in d rain...not 100% waterproof but at least can shoot in the rain...well internor is almost same...is worth to upgrade from d80 to d200?
Frankly, I never touched any of the camera u mentioned. But from the specs, even a D3100 is better than D200 based just solely on the D3100's newer sensor.
D80 and D200 is not far off but if u still insist, the D200 shud have slight edge. However going from D80 to D200 is not worth of an upgrade I think.
Why not look at D90, D300 or D7k? D7k would be my choice due to the all new sensor and latest features. (How about D7100 perhaps?)
Just my 2cents.
