You can't.. yup the screen colour is not accurate.. I think is more vivid as compared to the original photo. when I export it out to my desktop, the colour tend to be more pale.. however it can be fixed via lightroom with raw..

Camera screen/LCD is small and brighter, when view in PC Monitor, depending what monitor, the brightness will be less 'oomph'. Something like you view photo in your phone, you adjust the brightness to max and low. On LCD/LED, viewing angles can affect too.

I view it with lightroom..
I never use picture styles... in fact I never use the white balance, I just auto. Just that when I view it on the screen the purple is nice, but view in lightroom the purple is like 15% more pale than the screen. Using Dell U2412M, colour representation of the monitor should be very close to original.  rclxub.gif

By default, there's already picture styles.
In your camera, by default it may apply "Standard" picture styles.
When you import into lightroom, it will apply Adobe's standard color profiles (or picture styles).
You can change it to "Camera Standard" to match your Camera's color profile (or picture styles), but may not be 100% match unless you're using Nikon's ViewNX or CaptureNX.

hi thx for all the inputs, really appreciate~

1st of all i like to clarify this purchase is 60% for company (my event company) and 40% for my hobby, even if i lost interest in photography i still can use for company purpose.

mingyuyu sifu can you advise how much price diff btw dx and fx lens? some examples will do. the outcomes of fx and dx big diff or not?

i also notice canon 70d has auto focus function, is this important?

You mentioned you like wide angles, FX have better ultra wide angle lens option. There is wide-angles for DX, but if you really prefer ulta-wide angle shots, FX have better available option/choice. If you invest on expensive DX lens, and later you plan to upgrade to FX, your expensive DX lens resale value is... kind of low...

If you'll be using for long-term the FX will be a better investment, and also better resale value which is also due to DX line being replace more frequently.
Not sure about entry level FX like D6XX though, it's sort of a new line.
DX series D7XXX replacement is about 2 years.

Anyway, just sharing my "personal" opinion, since it's also for company and there is budget for it.

The setting you want is called JPEG.

Anyway, USB3 is godsend. Cannot imagine life without it when trying to transfers large amount of files.
It defeats the purpose of a RAW file because the RAW file is the "be all end all" file. You can derived infinitely different resolutions from a RAW file.

It would not make sense if you cannot get the camera sensor's full resolution from it's RAW file.
JPEG yes. TIFF not ! TIFF is larger than NEF / RAW.

When shot in CROP mode (DX), the resulting RAW file will be around 16MP and smaller in size?

My LCD is calibrated, and my D800 monitor looks similar to what's shown on my LCD though.

Usually LCD/LED Monitors is more bright/cool.
When the photos are printed, it will differ a lot from those uncalibrated LCD/LED monitors in terms of brightness and temperature.

And Mobile Phones, usually the photos will look nice, vibrant, punchy, sharp.

Depends on your calibration, mine was at D65 120cd/m2.

Mine's calibrated for online viewing ma, not for printing. If printing should be D50 or so, then if those you calibrate for display also got different profile.

And oh, the more cool is usually TN panels of the laptops if you noticed.
*
Not just laptops, even those office used LED/LCD Monitors, they're cool and bright.
Usually after adjusted, can see the huge difference especially the before and after.

HDR like - Depends. Some people may like it, but it looks too unnatural. Some people may look at it as "unique", but it's a different feel. For me, can provide original natural version, then HDR version, B&W version, or other "effect" version. The original natural is still the most important. For effect, the customer can add their own filter/effect using software. But those with "effects" applied, it's a different story.

Just my 2 cents.

Btw, seems like the photos has green tint? It look greenish, but some people may like the tone tough.

Make sure the focus is correct. At widest aperture, the DOF can be very shallow especially if you're at closer focusing distance.
Even when your focus is lock-on, your focus may run if you "moved" or there is back-focus/front-focus issue.
To test, out your camera on tripod and capture. You can compare with Live View Focus result to confirm any back/front focus issue, and don't shoot too close to your subject.
