LOL. In defense of the in-camera HDR, a couple of them came out fine. It's just when I went the HDR3 that I started getting cartoon results. It also may have been the subject. I'm still going to "test" it some more. When I did HDR "lite" (HDR auto or HDR1), the results were not bad at all. Obviously, I need to practice more and see what I can find out. BTW, the HDR I did was also hand held, which might contribute to all the problems with HDR...

I've not figured out how to edit my posts here yet, so I'm not trying to artificially increase my post count, I'm just a bit slow. Eventually, I'll get it...
Again, thanks for all the suggestions. I am taking notes and will be shooting a lot this weekend, trying out as many of the suggestions as I can in one weekend.
An interesting bit of information is that I can read the raw files (DNG) with my free IrfanView 64 program. I don't know (yet) if it would allow me to display the shot details, but again, I'm still working on it. I've used IrfanView for a long time, so I'm very familiar with it.
Another thing I like about this new one is since it stores all of the shot data, I no longer have to record it. I had a little microcassette recorder to document the shot data. Now I don't have to do that anymore. Progress!
