Will a full format DSLR reduce time spent in post?

Shooting Nikon D200 and spend most of my life it seems in post. How does shooting full size sensor affect this after shooting work and time spent.

Added (1). The lack of control bothers me. I always shoot at exact exposure and correct WB. And yet the work is often muddy. Bothered me for a year now. You are right I don't have the exposure under control but I do not know why. I must have enough meat in the image because the fixes are easy but I would love to see a decent exposure once where the fix was just to say that's good.

Why would you be spending most of your time pp'ing your images?

If they are that bad then they will be exactly the same whatever camera you have.

The fact that you spend so much time in post shows that you don't have control of the lighting, exposure and composition

I too have used the D200 and rarely do I have to make any changes in post unless I'm using custom white balance. Then the raw files are processing in a batch using Lightroom.applying the custom white balance parameters and saved as either a 16-bit TIFF or 8-bit JPEG @ 300 DPI

Full sensors just give you larger individual pixels, which in turn reduce the amount of noise, expecially when shooting with high ISO settings

The primary goal of a photographer is to have every thing as near perfect as possible before the shutter release is depressed so that little or NO post production is necessary, just like in the past when we used colour transparency film

It will make the files even heavier. If you spent so much time in post you should examine why. Perhaps your shooting needs work or you are not using the right software.

No, it will not.

All a full format dSLR does is give you wider angles and bigger files. (not better, just bigger). You will still be spending time in front of the computer.

Not sure what you mean by "lack of control". Both smaller and full size sensor cameras have full manual control.

Not sure what you mean by "exact exposure". Do you mean what the meter tells you? Maybe that's your problem: you are relinquishing control to the camera. Sometimes, you have to tweak what the camera is telling you.

Whatever you were doing with your D200 NEF files, you'll be doing the same with the D700 (or D3x/s) NEFs.

The only difference is that noise reduction was necessary beyond ISO 640 on the D200 and the D700 handles up to ISO 4000 pretty gracefully.

When you say you use the correct WB, out of the camera you'd only see that if you shoot JPG files. The same applies to your noise reduction, sharpening, tone comp, color mode settings…
These things can make JPG images 'pop' straight out of the camera. With RAW, you do need to do everything in post. But even then, you can easily batch process things.

Unless you're spending all of that time in post to give your individual files a specific, different treatment (eg retouching blemishes), your workflow is probably suboptimal.
