Why did I know you were going to say that?
The "best" is irrelevant. If you want to compare two cameras'
performance, without adding the additional liability of comparing
image processing software performance, you should use just one RAW
conversion tool. That way you know you are comparing the camera
functionality, without software tailored to each one's individual
foibles masking issues.
If your workflow and image processing is based on LR/ACR, CaptureNX is
irrelevant. My efforts to test CaptureNX with NEF files and compare
the output to the same files processed in Lightroom proves to me that
the results are virtually indistinguishable with adequate exploitation
of the two image processing applications' capabilities.
And do you mean to say that Pentax' dedicated RAW conversion software
isn't the "best" for Pentax cameras' RAW files? Heavens! ... ]'-)
