I tried my own test but just for sharpness. I used a recent Grays of Westminster price list as it was the first thing printed to hand.
Using a tripod in conjunction with self timer mode to avoid any shake, no flash and Nikon Capture (NC) as RAW convertor.
50mm f1.8 on D2X set for Aperture priority f8 and ISO 100 to produce RAW and JPEG fine (opimum quality)
Pic 1 shows full EXIF from NC and the focus point.
Pic 2 shows JPEG conversion of full photo in fine (otimum quality)
Pic 3 shows NC Conversion of full photo NC4.04
Pic 4 shows JPEG 100% crop around focus area
Pic 5 shows NC 100% crop around focus area
Please note, in camera sharpness set to medium low and full photo shots are set to JPEG level 9 to get under 341kB filesize.
