I just ordered a D800 (mainly for sports) and am interested in raw files in LR4 in relation to image quality of the final print. My set up includes LR4, Nik software such as SEFx 2, an Epson 3880 and Imageprint 9.
Using my Leica M9, I import to LR4 as copy (keeping the Leica compressed DNG format).
I am not familiar with the raw Nikon NEF format so when I import into LR4, do I copy and keep the NEF format or convert to Adobe DNG? Would converting to DNG save space and maintain quality?
For the D800, I plan on shooting 14 bit lossless compressed as from the threads on this forum, this does not impair the file quality.
