FTH, has it occurred to you that a good number of people here (including me) prefer the LR D600 profile to the D5200's in the example in the OP? And that if you were to ask participants in this thread my guess would be that your chances of people preferring one LR rendition versus the other would be no better than what you would get by tossing a coin? And how many would have preferred Nikon's rendition as shown by Mako?
And that perhaps the change you see from CCD days is due to the fact that when Nikon developed the standard and uniform-across-bodies Picture Controls, focus groups of people just lilke you chose the current look? And that you being one who instead prefers his skin pleasingly but unnaturally pink, would have been in the minority then and therefore disappointed now?
And that these color differences have very much to do with rendering recipes and very little to do with sensor performance? So who cares whether Nikon chooses fab A vs fab B as long as they produce excellent sensors? Which both of these definitely are, but the jury is still out on Toshiba banding?
