What kind of settings do you have on your camera in the settings menu? Do you have stuff like contrast bumped, custom curves, in camera sharpening, d-lighting turned on? For me, I basically put everything at zero. I shoot only raw, in fact, I haven't shot jpg for many years. I prefer to do it stuff in post than SOOC. Maybe the jpgs, once all compressed down, looks less "RAW" because the camera finished the image? And the RAW looks really raw because its not compressed?

Getting the exposure dead on or close to it would really help as well. How are your exposures SOOC?
