I have read these to messages from Thom Hogan:

This is what i understand from above two messages:
The noise-reduction of the in-camera JPEG engine inside the new D2-series cameras seems to hold detail much better than when using NEF and any RAW converter. Or, at least, it is much more difficult to get the same JPEG results when shooting NEF and using a RAW converter (does this include the new Capture NX?), especially when using higher ISO values (400 and up).
I wonder why Capture4.4 or Capture NX can not do exactly the same as the in-camera JPEG engine. It's just "algorithms", whether they run inside a camera or a PC/Mac should not matter. Actually, a PC/Mac has probably more horse-power than a camera...
Why would Nikon not put these algorithms in, for example, Capture NX?
(algorithms for noise; maybe noise reduction before demosaicing?)
Can anyone shed some light on this

I can't grasp the notion of time.
When I hear the earth will melt into the sun,
in two billion years,
all I can think is:
"Will that be on a Monday?"
