M8 and XP1 side-by-side (it's totally subjective, dude)

Playing with the files a bit more after dinner...I notice that in patches of blue sky even at base ISO the XP1 files have a certain graininess. Not chroma noise, just graininess. Anyone know why that might be? On screen it looks kinda cool, but I have no idea how it would print.

see post #31. it has to be a by-product of the tortuous (and wholly unnecessary) development protocol.

still hoping someone will pipe in with explanations for the attractive grain seen at base ISO on the XP1.
 
Thanks for this thread. Even at web size the files look impressive. Now I'm getting GAS. Must... stop.... looking...

I don't mean to pick on you Steve, but this is sort of priceless. Perhaps the differences between film and digital aren't as pronounced as some would like us to believe they are.:) But as you say, we all see things differently.
I'd add that sometimes we just see what we want to see.

OK, absolutely classic. In a lighthearted way of course, no piling on intended.
 
Thanks for posting the comparison. I know it is completely subjective, but IMHO, I still prefer the shots from the M8 over the fuji. I don't know if the film profiles do the photos justice, however it is a clever idea from fuji to do that.

Thanks for sharing.
 
The fact that the Fuji holds its own (and even surpasses it in some regard) against a Leica (be it even an outdated one) speaks volumes about this APS-C CMOS camera. Should be fun to use.
 
i'm thinking the fuji images all took a snappier edge to edge. colors? i have no idea which ones are more true. i have to wonder if the fuji lens is better edge to edge, front to back, than the cv ...
