I would like to get in on this topic. I actually just registered to get some help. Before I go on, I just want to make sure that everyone who is commenting on this thread actually used the D800. If not, the information they are providing is invalid. Nikon changed the sensor in the D800. The files represented in the D800 do not mirror images you would find in your d300 or d700. Why? It's a Nikon thing and we just have to get used to it.
But as far as the NEF processing, I have found that Capture One does a horrible job. I just upgraded photoshop and lightroom to use their processing power. The greatest thing about Capture One is that you can control your exposure better than any other software out there. If you want to make sure that the maximum highlight on someones face doesn't exceed an RGB value of 235, then you can do it with ease. You can't do that with Lightroom. But on the other hand, I have found that lightroom converts a much better looking image(with the d800). With my D300, I used capture one 100% of the time. But it just processed my d800 files differently. Maybe there are other settings I should be working with. I was curious if anyone who IS using the D800 agrees or has a suggestion for me?
