Fuji Corporate Response on LightRoom Raw Conversion - Bummer

Jamie Pillers said:
Each of these manufacturers have come up with sensor/software that produces unique 'looks' to their camera outputs. All of them are gorgeous in their own ways. The one plus-side feature that the X-Pro1 and X-E1 cameras offer is the lack of an anti-aliasing filter. This is not a minor issue in my mind. Being able to produce large prints that are still very sharp, with no image softening caused by an anti-aliasing filter is very useful.

The GXR, E-M5, and M9 all also have no-AA filter, Jamie.

Have you shot much with the X-Pro1 or X-E1?

No, and I have no interest in doing so. I've worked with the Fuji EXR raw files enough to know they're a pain, and frankly I don't like these cameras ergonomics and controls very much. They look like they'd be great for me, but I find them uncomfortable and fiddly in use.

I know many love them, and am happy for their joy. But they just don't do it for me at all.

If you want to discuss whether 'very close' is an appropriate phrase, sure. :) That's valid, but claiming that the post stated that JPEG = lossless is not accurate.

The problem is the post implied or assumed there is such a thing as a lossless jpeg available in photography. There is a lossless jpeg standard. As far as I know all commercially available jpeg compression is not lossless. Even for a perfect exposure and WB, the qualitative equivalence of a compressed jpeg would only be valid for the initial image since subsequent versions undergo compression a second time when saved as another jpeg version.
