Hi,
I am planning to extract all the jpeg thumbnails from my NEF files (D700, D800, Df, most recent is D5500)
I installed the most recent windows exe file from http://www.exiftool.org/
I then tried the following command to extract the thumbnail from a NEF file (NEF file from D5500 which should be supported from V2.7)
exiftool -ThumbnailImage G:\photos\2016\20161027\DSC_0002.NEF > G:\photos\image.jpg produces a 0 length file
Tested with a raw file from my DF camera, same result
:-[
Sorry : my mistake : use JpgFromRaw instead
In my D7000 nefs, there is no "thumbnailimage". I have
JpgFromRaw
PreviewImage
ThumbnailTIFF
You also need -b, for example
exiftool -b -previewimage ahc_8047.nef > temp.jpg
JpgFromRaw is not thumbnail size. Try previewimage.
Thank you so much!!! I realized that it was not a Thumbnail from the size (1.5Meg) but did not see another option in the examples.

You can see what is available with this command:
exiftool -preview:all FILE
