Yes NX will certainly give you more controls within the Nikon file. You can copy those settings in other programs as well. BTW i have Version 4 for Capture. My issue is i can't process my M8 files in them just like you.:ROTFL::ROTFL::ROTFL:Here is the photo processed through Capture One Pro 3.7.8 at defaults and the same crop.
I agree on the color being best in Capture One, but still think that Capture NX wins in all other respects.
The advantage in Capture NX is that I can also fix these colors and leave it as a preset for all the images.
You may very well be correct C1 looks very good. i may have some sharpening on C1 though and need to check that. But the color does look better than the other two out of the box.Guy,
On your examples, I think both C1 and NX render more detail and tones than LightRoom. You may be right about the NX having a higher contrast built in than C1. I do like the colors of C1 better.

Guy, have you tried shooting the D300 using the "Natural" rather than the "Standard" Picture Control Mode. See the thread I just started on this:Both handled it very well. At this point if you really want to match the M8 than i say take a point or two down in saturation

It is a program worth looking at no question but it is slower than a turtle to get around.
