I meant to add that I was surprised that the DNG conversion did not include the EXIF data.

Thanks Chuck - I have no definite opinion so far.
The files were posted because two lugger-friends were arguing the pros and cons 
of fuji v nikon and FF v APS-C

What I think right now is that the dials and settings on the N are far easier 
to adjust.
The fuji is less expensive and lighter on the shoulder than the N was.
The end result for screen display may be quite similar in terms of IQ.

I don't know yet if fiddling with the files in LR is less time consuming with 
one or the other.

I haven't checked the in-camera produced JPEGs either - this will be my next 
point of attention as the fuji is excellent at that and I had never shot jpegs 
with the Nikon.

I concentrated only on the first pair.  After converting both images from raw 
using only exposure and clarity controls I shrunk the Nikon image to the same 
size as the Fuji to be able to make a good visual comparison.  Both raw files 
recovered from over and underexposure well. The Fuji raw required a bit less 
shadow and highlight control to produce a good histogram. The Fuji image was 
considerably more saturated or vibrant.  However, the Nikon image looked more 
realistic with its more natural orange color.

I expected to see more depth of field in the Fuji image since both shots were 
made at the same aperture.  However, if it's there, I couldn't notice it.  That 
may be due to different focus points... or soft edge oranges may be simply hard 
to judge.

During the course of one of our famous-the-world-over LUG-debates on APS-C and 
FF ;-) I had promised to post comparison shots of fuji and nikon files using 
the same settings.

I found time to rekindle my D700 today (16 months on the shelf, so says LR) and 
shot 3 pairs of snaps at high ISO (1600 for I wanted RAW, and it is the ISO limit 
of both bodies in RAW I think) and equivalent focal length and aperture, 
respectively 35 & 50mm, both open at 1.4.

These are indoors snaps, without any other purpose than comparison - rain 
prevented me from taking the cameras for a stroll.
The fuji being small and resting on a table for two of the shots, the angles 
may be slightly different.

The light didn't change outside 95% grey, nor inside.

The links below will lead the curious of either list to dng files, conversion 
is the only alteration I have made to them.

You should be asked a "mot de passe" aka password, type: charlie (the first 
file might have a capital C)

The files will remain available for download for 10 days.


Hope this helps all parties give enlightened opinions based on facts ;-).
