Re: Nikon color and image character from different bodies
luminosity histogram will be not much helpful in this case if you use that as a exposure guide. As you may well over expose your individual channel already. So, my suggestion is either underexpose by 1 or 2 stop based on experience or try to watch out individual channel histogram. You need be very careful about it especially you are photo flower, green grass, blue car etc...
I can give you a example: R/G/B 280/35/80 will give you luminosity of 280X0.3 + 35X0.59 + 80X0.11= 113 so you are well below you lum clip point.
For any digital camera, the red usually be problematic(Maybe I should not say that as problem is happen from operator) is that even it has less weight than Green: Green contribute more in Grey exposure, the camera usually will not wildly over or under exposure Green Chanel.
Hope that make sense. I didn't find D700 has more problem than other cameras in RED Chanel per my experience.
Red channel blow up is quite common in flower picture taking. You get better result from D750 might come from higher DR or slightly different RGB filter array in front of sensor.
Thank you for the link, Swissblad.
I think most of those flickr users quite well support my suggestion (and my experiences with the difficulties in general when capturing flower petals).
Also the flickr histogram example illustrates the problem: the histogram has a heavily blown out red channel.
The Original Poster keeps talking about using exposure compensation in post processing, but at that time it's too late, a lot of the red channel information is already lost in the capture.
