u probably know this already too - with regards to raw & JPG, it seems many landscape shooters prefer to blow out the pic so the red channel in RGB histogram is hard up against the right hand side and clipping slightly, and this seems to retain the colours and detail in shaded areas better with less noise when lightened, and most of what looks blown out can be recovered providing it's shot in raw and if the blue and green aren't clipped as well
On Nikons it's called "Landscape" mode (on the dial).
(Worth a shot eh?

)
+ u can fix your white balance, but not so recoverable if shot in JPG + you're pretty much stuck with whatever the cam picked for white balance
Good point.
5dmk2 now has rgb histogram like 40d - yay, old one didn't
Nikon photoghapher comeback: I don't know, I'm too worried about the subject.
