While Capture NX is slow and in no way ideal for batching hundreds of images it does remove all manner of CA from NEF images better than any other product on the market - period.

Open an image in NX and CA is automatically removed - then hit a single button to open the image in CS4. Well worth the ~$100 to anyone wanting the best possible final image quality from a NEF file.

Just as anyone who is really serious about photography will likely have several lenses to address different shooting situations so too the digital photographer needs multiple software packages in order to produce the best possible final image.

Currently I use Capture NX, CS4, PT Lens, Neat Image, and NikSharpener Pro/Qimage in that order, and once you get your own workflow set it is very easy and speedy to get an image ready for printing.
