OK well here's the first set of a shot I did with the D750 (50mm f/1.4), D300 (35mm f/1.8), and HTC M9 all shooting in RAW format. The settings for all cameras were WB(Auto), ISO 400, shutter speed 1/60, and aperture f/2.2. I tried to get the output resolution for each camera to be as close as possible with the D300 (12.2MP), D750 (13.6 MP), and M9 (15.2 MP).
What I've found out though is that the lens element on the M9 causes very very bad distortion and vignetting. Working in RAW makes that very obvious and takes a lot of work to correct it. Hopefully no one was expecting the RAW output of the M9 to come close what is produced by a DSLR just because they both can produce RAW images. That would never be a realistic expectation on any level. Also, I realized that if I want to get good quality shots when I'm going out places and don't want to use my "bulky" DSLR and instead use something with a smaller footprint, I'd rather us a point-and-shoot camera over smartphone camera any day/time of the week.
