more 18mm photos

I still think this camera will have the same problem as the X10 with white disc blooming on the exr sensor, something the most recent firmware update was supposed to solve, but didn't. This camera will have the same exr engine. Too bad the pictures weren't posted in a larger format, but the reflection in the water makes me very suspicious:

I can't believe the sun reflecting off of water makes for white highlights!
That looks perfectly normal for any camera, digital or film.

So is the XP1 not supposed to show a white disc when a circular specular highlight is over exposed?

What do you expect to see?

What do you define as blooming?

How do you define the difference between blooming any an overexposed region?

Do you have examples from your photos where circular specular hightlight are accurately portrayed?

Your comments make no sense to me whatsoever.

jippie - it is not the same EXR engine. They are totally different animals. Do your homework before you shoot off your mouth. The only thing common between the two camera's is that Fuji liked to use EXR for both.

It appears you are exhibiting the same jealousy that many others are displaying. Presumably there is resentment that this camera is garnering such interest and it just isn't your thing.
 
No that's not the same, and the problem has not been reported about the X100. It means that small bright points turn up as big bright white orbs.

Show us an example of an X1 photo where what you describe is actually happening, and we may pay attention. But please don't just make things up. It doesn't help anyone, including you.
 
Blown highlights nothing more

Blown highlights nothing more

Seriously blown highlights from the set illumination obviously. Nothing like orbs. Orbs are perfectly round with a very odd black outline. The X10 and XPro1 are both branded Fujifilm, but the sensors are entirely different, probably not even manufactured by the same vendor.
 
^--- what Gavin said -- exactly. And the impressive thing about that photo is *not* the specular highlight on the fender. It's the remarkable suppression of veiling flare with that huge light source in the frame.
