Question...How do you all control contrast in manual mode?
Apart from metering on different spots and the like generally how does shutter speed and aperture affect contrast? I know the best way is by lighting but I do not have a flash and DSLR built in flash sucks so I can only use whatever lighting available at the moment

Contrast has more to do with lighting than camera settings I've found, but if you want more control over contrast shoot in RAW format which gives more control over things like contrast during editing.
A lot of cameras will also allow you to use custom pre-sets to adjust things like saturation, contrast and sharpness in camera. I've never used them though as I just shoot in manual all the time, so I cant tell how much of an effect they have.

So it's really dependent more on the subject and scene than the camera? Most people use editing to get their desired contrast but well...my Photoshop was lost ever since my old comp died years ago

Truly....post-processing is the most painful aspect of digital photography...
Composing images and finding scenes are so much more fun yet post-processing is indispensible if you want to utilize that delicious lossless RAW format...
