Hi
You could state the same opinion for a simple digital viewfinder camera too, tweak the output and you get better results. Some of these cameras offer RAW as well and even the potential is less here it is possible too...
While NC3 created some monochromatic noise pattern in on of my ISO800 test shots Bibble created some nose looking more coloured... I would prefer the NC3 output in this case... And to be honest, Bibble needs some fixes in their screen updates. Scolling and zooming was horrible (beond the additional processing time needed inbetween such actions)...
I would accept a simple raw conversion for standard stuff without much effort and the additional features of RAW in situations I feel the need for it dislike using RAW as a general need.
Telling use RAW is a bad excuse for average JPG's out of the camera. And using RAW all the time to get somthing I like at all is not what I imagine to be a brilliant tool offering choices..

I understand all this and I tried it already. Results get better but are they worth teh effort? For you this wight be always true, for me it is sometimes but mostly not.Sure you can. Turn off all processing in the converter. Putting
aside the 16-bit issue (to keep this discussion as simple as
possible), you have then isolated the hardware and all issues from
that point on relate to external software.
"Noise" generated by bad in-camera processing algorithms in the
firmware become irrelevent. Even NC3 can become irrelevent, with
3d party tools and NC upgrades.
You are true here but I dislike the opinion use of a D-SLR is absolutely associated to this. I like D-SLR for thier better handling, their speed but not necessarily for the introduction of the must of additional postprocessing.I've concluded that they are, unfortunately, of no particular
interest to Phil's review of the Nikon "system" at "all defaults",
which doesn't isolate hardware issues from software issues but
jumbles them all together. However, they are highly relevent to
building a workflow that efficiently optimizes quality.

Well, you need a RAW converter anywhere, regardless if it is in your camera or an application on a PC... I tried Bibble with some D100 files yesterday but I was not really impressed. Yes the output is different to the NC3 applications, but better? I didn't feel this way.You're still talking about the output of an external raw converter,Pure in this sense is what I get without additional explicit
tweaking.
which does explicit tweaking over which you have limited control.
Fine for some, unsuitable for others.

No, that is not quite true.Everything you're saying is consistent with users who don't want to
use RAW. I understand that, but I'm not one of them.
