Nikon D800, no "scenes" necessary, just great images!
But the D800 provides four shooting "banks" which are fully customizable. They are useful and easy to access. You can name them like scene modes, e.g BIF and Landscape.
BTW no Auto on D800 either.

Why would you not be shooting in raw? The different "scenes" only effect jpegs. With jpegs, some guy in Japan or Korea or wherever is deciding what the scene should look like (built in camera software) and that person has never seen your subject. Relatively inexpensive software (Lightroom) is very easy to learn and does a very impressive job with the raw images.

I didn't think there were cameras made that didn't have scene modes.
My 5dmkll has scene modes, but they are ONLY accessible if you're shooting in Jpeg. They can't be used in RAW mode.
I'll bet every Canon has them. ;-)

The 5dmkii mode dial does not have any scene modes, 'night, snow, portrait, etc.' on it. You are thinking of picture styles selected via the menu. There is a difference.

Why would you want a scenes mode on a serious camera? A waste of control geography.

You sure?
I know it has Picture Styles (as does the Nikon D800 for instance) but didn't think it features Scene Modes.
I don't own one that's why I'm asking.

I wasn't aware the Scene modes were not available with RAW. Since they control aperture and shutter speed and maybe other things like metering mode and flash they would affect a RAW image.
There are a number of reasons to choose to shoot jpeg. That's why cameras give a number of choices.
One use of Scene modes is to see what that "guy" would recommend. She likely knows more about photography than I ever will and has a team of expert advisors and reviewers.
But my D800 doesn't have Scene or Auto so that part doesn't affect me any more.

Canon single-digit cameras (prosumer and professional models) do not have pre-set scene selections (those are the multitude of little icons you see on point and shoots) on their mode dials. They do have programmable picture styles available through menu options that effect only the jpegs produced from Canon's DPP software. While editing your raw file in DPP you can see the effect the picture style will have on your jpeg.

A lot of the early digitals didn't have scenes because no one had thought of the idea yet. Some still don't, especially those labeled as "professional" models. On the other hand my 6D has them. You have to crank the dial over 300 degrees to get to them. It is like someone said: "Guys, we have room for more labels on the dial and the body has plenty of computing power, so why don't we....." I haven't even been there yet, there is also something labeled CA past SCN that I need to look up. Any one know so I don't have to hunt through the manual(after I find it, it likes to hide, must be scared of our cats).

You don't have to use them, they are usually a different stop on the knob.

I have yet to find it on my 5D MK III or 7D. I have it on my SX50 and I remember it being on a couple of the digital Rebels I have used in the past. I never really cared for the scene mode options.

It is an app that connects your camera's wifi to the nearest food joint with on line ordering for when you get hungry. Oh Lord! What have I said some geek might see that and start putting it in real cameras, maybe via firmware updates until the 2015 models come out.

Just checked and yep, the D7000 has it.
I never used it... or program mode either for that matter.
I do have a question since food was brought up earlier...What would using a "food" setting do? Add seasoning?

I personally prefer the "M" scene mode. That stands for "Masterful(well on a Nikon anyway.)" LOL.
