I am not sure if it is the camera or the software.
Here, I used NX2 on the image captured by a D300. Arguably, it is the same generation as a D3, although definitely not in the same class.
But after looking the dpreview.com thread, it certainly caused me to retrieve this shot from my discard pile and give it a second go.
Similarly, I metered for the sky, leaving the clouds overexposed and the foreground underexposed in the original.
I don't have to go through the HDR process (that is what I'd do anyway, to save time).
I didn't even realise so much data existed in the original file (RAW format, of course).
I am not sure but I believe that one needs to post-process less if the D-lighting is activated, reducing the advantage of S5Pro.
I like a saturated look, so definitely some will disagree with the processing.
Perhaps some CSer with another camera can have a shot and upload pictures too?
