My d5000 is supposed to be back today from Nikon today. Regardless of its design issues, ie an execrable pentamirror viewing system, the d5000 has the same image capture machinery as its more elegant relations which is adequate for my purposes, particularly the impressive noise levels of the sensor. I had a real concern about the accuracy of the camera’s auto-focus based on opening and processing raw images in CS4 which I asked the Nikon repair service to evaluate.
However most (I have not looked at all of them) of the same images opened in NX2 appear to be in correct focus. This is not simply a matter of how contrast and sharpness is set in CS4 because I cannot make d5000 images appear comparable via CS4, a problem I do not have comparing images processed with other Nikon dSLRs in NX2 and CS4.
I won’t exclude the possibility that the problem is me but I kind of suspect that the Adobe converter is not optimized for that particular flavor of nef files. I wonder if that applies to other raw formats as there are about 10 brazillion of them by now.
