Nikon D100 - 12/10/2003
If ever you need a reason for shooting/keeping raws this is it. Several times the C1 processing engine upgrades have effectively provided $k's worth of apparent camera upgrades due to better quality of the conversions. :thumbs:C1 does wonderful things with old files.......
I was kind of joking. However, within a limited budget, with regards to time as well as money, the camera/lens/processing dilemma is always there. As you point out, current processing software can make a lot of difference, much more so than the difference between a D5500 and a D810 (that little plastic wonder that can be had for around $500 new really does deliver, particularly when shot using the flat colour profile), and even the D700 and D2Xs that I currently use (when I don't use the E-M1) are getting a new, brighter polish with the current version of ACR. Is C1 even better? In my view it is, but staying within the Adobe universe is very convenient, and I'm lazy.Well, I'm not recommending going out and buying legacy cameras but just re-harvest some of the images you've shot. If they were decent when processed originally then perhaps like me you'll be able to reprocess then again today with the latest raw converters and be pleased with the results.
I'll shamelessly plug my raw converter of choice Capture One Pro but I'm sure that ACR has also improved immeasurably since when you might have first processed the files.
In my case well exposed early D series Nikon files pop again in C1 Pro. Time to go back to the D1, D1X, D200, D2X, D3, D3s, D3X and D700 files again. :thumbup: Yup, had 'em all up until the D800/Df too.
C1 does a decent job with the 24-120 VR file too btw. That said, the current lenses definitely have the edge but PP correction works well.
It is humbling looking at the resolution and super high speed of the sw apps processing 6mp images. Pixel peeping isn't a happy sport but the prints are still fine.
