For in-camera JPEG to be 50% (approx) than that of RAW converted to JPEG suggests the in-camera JPEG must apply more compression than its RAW converted variant. More compression equates to a lower quality image in this case a little softer.
In my test I let NC convert and pass 16-bit TIFF to photoshop then resized whilst just opening in camera JPEG and resizing. The filesize difference was negligible <10%.
I'll do my own colour test using size priority and quality priority JPEG from the D2X tomorrow evening and post the results.
Don, Thanks for posting you and your sandwich, gave me a laugh when stuck in a hotel room yesterday evening
