For many of us, learning all of the features inside of our camera's may take weeks or months, and even years. That is why I decided to write a brief article on a trend coming from Nikon's lineup of camera's with in-camera processing. The feature first appeared in the advanced amateur DSLR model from Nikon - the D90 in 2008. The camera featured a number of processing technique's and effects engines that could be applied to a RAW image, and then outputted as a jpeg image on the card. This feature is now in most advanced Nikon DSLR's since this time. The recent D7000 added a whole new level of image effects not previously available.
Among the in-camera processes available, one of my favourite on the D700/D300s has to be the in-camera RAW converter. The advantage of having this feature - is the ability to process a RAW file in the camera in the field, and then import it into a device such as an Ipad or Iphone, and send it electronically. A feature I am sure that would be helpful to photojournalists. (although the majority of PJ's shoot Jpeg to begin).
Note: In-Camera processes are available on the Nikon D700, D300s and D7000 and other similar models. From doing some breif reading on the internet, I believe that some Canon model of camera's do have retouch menu's, but I cannot comment or direct you on specifics.
