Can you post the specs of your camera and what special setting, if any, you use to capture the images. This is important since LR is only processing the raw data with its own recipe and cannot apply any special settings you may have used in your camera. Look at it this way, if you consider the rendition of the raw data by your camera to be perfect, why are you spending a lot of money to purchase Lightroom to provide you with the same rendition. Adobe has developed a special software to provide you with the development tools to process the raw data from your camera, which they believe will enable you to create a superior rendition.
