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
