This past week (and in particular today), I've been shooting back-to-back comparison images with my LC1 and L1. I'm not yet finished with my testing, but my initial conclusion is that L1 images not only tolerate more sharpening than LC1 images but they also need more sharpening. Even then, I'm finding the LC1 images to be more life-life, more three-dimensional and overall, more appealing to my eye. I was an early adopter and advocate of the L1, but based upon the results of my testing this past week, mine may well be finding a new home soon! And as for the notion that RAW images are somehow different between the L1/D3, I disagree as I shot a few back-to-back images with my L1 and a local dealer's D3 on my tripod (I was trying to determine if my L1's lack of sharpness was due to a defect in the camera/lens) and I can see no differences between them even when I compare them very, very carefully. If there is a difference, then it's an awfully subtle one!
