Anyway I saw this post today. Looks to me that they have some improvements in noise handling. The xa1 looks quite acceptable.

I wonder if this is going to be seen on the next gen xe that is rumored to be announced soon.

Lol. Yes... Remember that xtran sensor poll 😀🙄 more ammo to the fire :angel:

While interesting... I was never attracted to the xtran sensor for its sharpness. It was really more for the Fuji color and the back to basics camera controls (retro as others have said).

I think Fuji biggest problem has always been the raw converter. I think we are only just now seeing the various sw apps do a good job w/ it vs normal Bayer which has really been perfected a while now.

Bear in mind that the difference could be from in-camera noise reduction, which could be brought to the X-M1 with a firmware update or replicated in post-processing.

The good news is the X-A1 is a step up from other cameras at a similar price point.

Still no viewfinder though, bummer.

Good read Rico.

Your writeup explained a lot and I think gives insight to how to compensate in LR to get the most out of it. The info on the other raw developers also shows that adobe is still behind the curve when it comes to the xtran vs what others are doing.

Thanks for providing the drop box dumps as well..
