Difficult to choose, but I'd say I have a slight preference for the OOC ones. They look very natural and probably depict the reality better, but you are the only one who can judge that.

My photos need as much processing as it takes to achieve my vision of the image I want. Since your photos are not the kind I would take for myself (that's not a criticism), I can't easily decide which is better - it's entirely your choice AFAIC. 

THIS!!!  I print my photos the way I see them.  If someone doesn't feel they are right by their standards...then they can go out, shoot the scene and Photoshop it however they want.

Photography is subjective...I don't have to see things the way you think the should be seen.

End of rant.

That's where I'm leaning. I think the files from my latest Leica cameras produce very natural colours. A bit of contrast increase is all I'd be inclined to do with many of them. Often with my colour images, I'm finding the more adjustments I make the more unnatural they look. 

It's a different story with b&w. I agree with Jeff on that point. If course, there aren't many subjects we photograph that are b&w in reality so we aren't trying to make those images true to life.

I've been pretty happy with SOOC camera images from the D-Lux 8.  My only issue is that I'm used to the SOOC JPEG and RAW looking pretty close to each other in Lightroom.  But with the D-Lux 8, they look totally different.

This depends on the profile selected in LR. The default profile offered in LR is Adobe Color (Adobe Standard in old versions), meaning Adobe's idea of how colors should look like. But it's the profile embedded in the DNG that reflects the camera manufacturer's idea and this may be much nearer the colors of OOC JPGs.

Nice though, but not the case.  But I'll acknowledge I could be doing something wrong.

DNGs + JPEGs
First image (ending in 925) shot in STD, the only edit was to select the embedded profile.
Second image (929) shot in Mono HC, obviously, the embedded profile is not mono
Third Image, I have been playing with editing and importing profiles.  The Mono HC from the D-Lux 7 is a bit higher contrast; it's a place to start.

I'm not really seeing why just pressing 'Auto' (sic) in ACR wouldn't sort out the problem without messing about with profiles?
