Hi Peter, my impression is that for any given G1 ISO, the D700 has similar detail relative to noise at four times that ISO. The Nikon file has slightly less noise, but perhaps also slightly less detail when compared this way.
It's about what I would have predicted given that the D700 sensor area is four times greater and suggests that the sensor quality per unit area is similar between these two cameras.
I'm glad they were helpful, Woody.
One thing you may notice is that using Lightroom or CS4, the G1 barrel distortion is automatically corrected, just as it would be with an in-camera JPEG. This adjustment cannot be disabled. Raw Developer leaves the barrel distortion intact, giving one the option to leave the wider angle of view that comes along with the distortion.
Unfortunately, the Adobe DNG converter only gives the option of converting to a linear DNG with the barrel distortion correction applied, meaning that any DNG produced from a G1 file has gone through a demosaic process with the corrections irreversibly baked in. As such, I wouldn't recommend converting G1 RAW files to DNG for archival purposes, during Lightroom import or otherwise.
