This is so wrong, P is for pressure when you don't have time to get all your settings just right!

well who's is it ? the only PP I do is expouser over or under contrast high lights in bird feathers shadows . I don't have a clue about not yours . I tweak about as much as you do when you pull a Ken Rockwell probably only I dont goe to the extreme as that .

I played that "I'm going to get it perfect in camera" gamer for a while. maybe it's because I do a lot of low light shots but found the philosophy simply unreasonable. While you may dub it pressure, there are simply too many times correct in camera is not possible. Heck I had some shots that I thought were great out of the camera still could be nicely improved with PPing. You must have an excellent internal eye to always get the white balance just right. I commend your Kelvin vision
All the time you struggle to get it perfect I will spend in PPing and damn near guarantee it. Each to their own.

I get a kick out of these people who say it's not your pic if u are doing it in post p . the artist with the brush or pencil will keep fussing with a section that
he figures is needing more work . go tell him it's not your picture . that is the goofiest thing I heard in awhile

Never - don't even know how to turn it on (kidding, but in all honestly I have never used it).
You will get far better results if you record raw images and process the color saturation and contrast later, precisely how you want to see it. You may want vivid for most of the scene, but not for other parts of it, and by making that choice later, you record the image the way the camera sees it, and you can adjust the image to the way you saw it or want others to see it.

I don't use any of the "scene" modes. I shoot, aperture, Shutter priority, or manual about 80% of the time. I sometimes shoot in auto without speedlight but rarely.
The scene modes have the camera processing the image in ways that I feel (personal opinion) that I can do better in Lightroom. I shoot everything Raw (Nef) so I have total control. Vivid is a mode where the camera is oversaturating all of the colors it sees. If I want my images that way, then I do it in lightroom to the ones I feel need it.
I will say that when I first got my D7100, I went out and shot 20 or 25 shots in each mode to see what the differences were. (these were test shots just to get an idea and not of anything in particular but the same shot at least once in each mode and different types of settings)

I sometimes shoot in landscape mode even though I may be shooting something other than that. Gives a little more DOF and more vivid colors. I find that more useful on my 7D as opposed to my 5D mark iii though.

Without looking at my cameras (I.m too comfortable here with my coffee and my keyboard), I think I have them set one notch higher than Normal. With raw, it doesn't matter, and with JPEG, you can change color in post, so it's not a big deal.
Many articles I've read have suggested increasing color saturation in the camera because the standard setting is very mild. I think Ken Rockwell always recommends "vivid."

Nikon has a setting in the Menu to adjust color saturation, so for JPEGs, the colors can be more or less saturated. The "normal" setting is often too weak, with pale colors.

I shoot raw so camera control is pretty much moot. Having said that, I do leave my D7000 set to vivid and I do occasionally set my second sd card to jpeg if I think I'll be shooting something that I'll need right away. Vivid seems to give better color saturation for jpegs.
I agree. I rarely shoot jpegs but find the vivid setting best when I do.

I do not use it most of the time. Depends on the subject/scene and what I wish to accomplish. Usually I use a custom picture mode that slightly enhances both saturation and sharpness.
