I'm thinking that adjusting the exposure compensation could do something to the same effect. I won't be using RAW format for field shots because of memory limits. My team demands I take a lot of photos, lol

Also Dan, I highly reccomend getting a Flash. Like most photo equipment, you don't need to spend a lot of money to get something that works well. I don't know much about anything not made by Nikon, but what I do reccomend is getting one by Canon. Because it is made by the same manufacturer as your camera, it will most likely integrate better with it, particularly with TTL and i-TTL modes. I can't say I know this for sure, but it's what my common sense suggests.
