Can anyone tell me what settings I could use to get a great group shot?
Post last years' photo so we can see what to improve upon.
Without knowing what the room/location looks like, anyone would be guessing.
Also, specifically what kind of flash/lights are you talking about?
If you have enough power and use a pretty high ISO ( the D7000 performs well there), bouncing off the ceiling could be an easy option if you have the flashes to pull it off and the room size works. Bouncing softens the light and can help even out the exposure because the all the people will be closer to the same distance from the light source...the ceiling.
(Should probably start a new thread- this may be considered hijacking.)

Sad that most of the newer lenses don't have depth of field markings on them so people wouldn't have to download a calculator. I'm glad I still have all my old lenses.

There seems to be some perspective distortion due to using a wide angle lens (24mm). If you use a lens with focal length >50mm , stand further back and use an aperture of about f8 or more then that may help.

Kabrutus, didn't see it mentioned in the thread but go outside with a few people to experiment in bright conditions the depth of field that we are talking about here - you can do that with the "depth of field preview button" on your camera. That'll give you a good feel for it. As someone else said, we've lost the dof settings on the lenses but this is about the next best thing. If you try and do this indoors it often is not as successful because you need light as you stop down the aperture with the dof preview button. Good luck.
