Apologies Pete, you are correct. I was not thinking of Capture NX2, but Adobe and other software suites. I do use Capture NX2, but never for first stage post processing, I use Lightroom 4. Personally, I cannot think of a reason to in-camera sharpen as it is pretty uncontrollable. It's only advantage, in my view, is that it is useful when examining the NEF jpeg thumbnail in the camera display. Each to their own technique though
