I spent far too long playing with different converters versus the jpgs. My conclusion was that 9 times out of 10, Lightroom with its lemns corrections and particularly CA removal with self made colour profiles (using the gretag 24 colour card) gave the best results. I had a cloudy profile and a shade profile and I could get the colours to "Zing". I am a portrait/wedding photographer and the benefits of bodies like the D3, then D4 then D810 took over and I eventually gave my S5 away. I am currently looking at ebay for a decent used S3 for the fun of shooting again. (I've retired). I have sold nearly all of my gear but kept a selection of old manual nikon lenses which I'm using on 2 x X-E2s, also with colour profiles (probably the single best thing I've done to improve my photos). The old lenses aren't a patch on the modern ones, apart from the 28mm probably, still, all good fun.
I'm trying to remember if RPP processed the Fuji S/R pixels. I used that from time to time, it gave superb details and you could run a batch of well shot photos through in no time.
