Also I have an X-Pro 1 (the original x-Trans 1) which I am happy to share with you if you visit London, England. It is a magical camera, slow and frustrating in many ways, but I couldn't part with it as some of the images it produces are magical.

I am a concert photographer and when I moved to the X-T2 from the X-T1 I eventually had to go back because of the noise characteristics into RGB stagelights. The only camera I've bought since then is another X-T1 for backup... The front desk and editor both commented I had been going a little bit crazy with the ISO lately, I had to explain that it's the same ISO but a newer camera... There's not even any more noise in the X-T2's output, it's just more intrusive for some reason Edit: It was X-T3, I skipped the X-T2

@Paul_Rohde 3 жыл бұрын

Your response intrigued me, so I did a teeny bit of reading. Whether this is relevant or not I don't know. Apparently the X-T1 at ISOs higher than 1600 doesnt add any sensor analogue gain, but merely uses image processing, unlike the X-T3. Maybe if you shot in RAW on the X-T3 and kept the iso at 1600 (or at it's 2nd base ISO 800) and did post processing for well exposed JPGs, the results could have been similar. I don't know, your experience is interesting. I wonder if downsampling/similar res settings could play a part too.

@Vinterloft 3 жыл бұрын

@@Paul_Rohde Yes, but it's not simply a matter of "more" or "less" noise, it's about what it looks like in a small newspaper photo. If you print it at 100% size you may not notice, or even 16MP X-T1 vs. 16MP crop of the X-T3. But when you zoom out you notice that the noise *spread* of the X-T1 is even across the frame, while the X-T3 has these clusters in certain places where it's more or less and when you view it from afar it can be mistaken for compression artifacts basically.

@Paul_Rohde 3 жыл бұрын

@@Vinterloft Well your response hasn't reduced being perplexed. It would make an interesting short story online or on KZfaq just to display what the difference is. Not knowing the full workflow in detail, it's hard to say, but the fact you can't notice it in a straight 100% crop infers the X-T3 is Ok, and that something else is going on? Maybe the processed bit depth between the two, or the file being used is different that's not working out well with the current way processing is undertaken for the printing workflow. This &/or could be something akin to Moire interference? Seeing what is actually happening could be illuminated by somebody in the know.

Apart from color rendering and ISO performance differences all other "advantages" of older sensors (more contrast, more punch) are easily explained by wider DR of the newer ones which makes those advantages technically disadvantages).

On a technical level, yes, the newer X-Trans sensors are supperior, but it hardly matters when looking at the images out of the camera. The X-Trans II out of camera JPEGs look have the most pleasing colors and it really does affect how enjoyable a camera is to a user when the photos look good without the need for postprocessing every single one. The tech matters less than the look and feel of photos that it produces. And in this regard X-Trans II is still the king of them all.

I have come to rely on it for that sort of, "Here, I bequeath you all the details to the max" so I can have choices. My X-T3 I would NOT take on a street shooting day. I always take one film camera and one digital with me. My X-T20 remains with me when shooting street, along with my Ricoh GR II, which sadly died this weekend. So, I'll be hunting for another street camera and thinking of the x70 or Xe2s. I haven't looked into which would be better autofocus. I can use zone focusing but one of the beautiful things about the Ricoh was snap focus distance that did a lot of the heavy lifting for me. Anyhoo, thanks for another great video!

Thanks Omar, lovely insights. I quite like the jpg output of my wife's x-e2s. She doesn't bother - Provia straight out of cam. Since I have got my x-e3, I always like to fiddle around with the film simulation but I mainly use Classic Chrome, colour +1 or Astia also colour +1 and Acros. I actually do sharpen up the jpg +1, but do jpg & raw. I am still on noise reduction preset 0, why should I since I have got the raws? Xtrans III 24 megapixel helps once you got to crop, Xtrans II files are half the size and I see no difference at 100% on my 4K monitor. The only reason I see to move on to the current Fujifilm line-up is improved autofocus and IBIS, only in order to better use old analog full frame lenses, but not the Xtrans IV sensor for image quality.

Several years ago, I owned the X-T1, and while I absolutely detested the autofocus capabilities, I cannot deny the fact that I enjoy the photos I created with it. Not only were the images SOOC pleasing, but the 16MP resolution felt a lot more detailed than one might expect. I have bird photos made with the X-T1 and the 90mm f/2 (and yes, I agree, nothing about that combo says “good for bird photography”) where I cropped the living snot out of the files, and still you can see the details of individual feathers when zoomed in 1:1. Unless the plan is to make huge prints, very few people really need the extra resolution of modern cameras.

@matthieuzglurg6015 Жыл бұрын

the reason teh X-T1 felt so detailed for a 16MP sensor is because it does not have an antialiasing filter. On bayer sensors, it can cause moiré patterns on stuff like fabric etc, but X-Trans sensors greatly reduce that and don't need one

There are sooooo many variables when it comes to taking a picture and what "look" you want. It WILL drive you insane.

Thank you for this thorough video! It seems the senor got better with each generation, the picture output looks better with the old ones though. The best looking sensor is of course the original X-Trans! 😏 You can get X-E1 for under 100, X-M1 for even less, you should give it a try...

My Fujis are X-Trans 1. The X-Pro1 has the original processor, the X-M1 has the MkII version of X-Trans1. I even have the 2/3" sensor X10 with EXRCMOS sensor. Old school but great results.

Not exactly right into this term. 1st things first, the original X-Trans I Sensor is into the X-Pro1, X-E1 & X-M1. Then the X-M1 is a special case, because it does feature the EXR II Processor - whileas both the Fujifilm X-Pro1 & X-E1 feature the original EXR Pro Processor, all right? :) The X-M1 is missing some of the customization features, for instance, you can't add a (digtal) red, green, blue, yellow or -orange filter via menu. My Fuji's are the X-E1, E2, M1 & T1, and the X100 L.E.

Very interesting comparison, I appreciate the effort which must have gone into this. On my X-T30, I ended up shooting quite a flat version of Classic Chrome (S-2 H-2), however with a bit punchier colors (C+2, STRONG color chrome effect). This works for me in a wide range of situations, and mostly gives pleasing colors (except for occasional pinkish skin tones). The auto white balance feels too cold sometimes, but I haven't found any WB shift which I would universally like so I'm sticking with auto. But I'm a jpeg+raw shooter, and mainly see jpegs as a creative preview to my own processing.

I've shot with all the sensors and I could always tell the biggest difference with the blues. Classic Chrome on the II seems to shift a lot more towards cyan on images with a lot of sky. On the IV CC shoots slightly cooler but the sky is more fine tuned to replicate a Porta like film stock. I typically shoot Provia on the II for that warm natural look and Classic Chrome on the IV for a filmic look.

Love your analysis. After recently dropping my XT2 on concrete ,no damage. I decided to get a backup or upgrade . After all considerations including the XT 4, I purchased another XT2. I seriously considered the XT3 but the images at 6400 really looked better (to me) on the XT2.

@fredbloggs545 3 жыл бұрын

They aren't better, you are looking at 100% crops on sensors of a different size.

Another great video Omar 👍 I may have a tip for you to make a video about using 'natural live view'. I noticed that lots of my jpegs were underexposed sooc. When using (and viewing) kodachrome 64 recipe, the highlight warning went crazy so I lowered exposure comp. and I noticed that when using natural live view the exposure is more 'trustworthy' and the highlights warning did not appear using the exact same settings and my jpegs are now perfect. Could be helpful for your subscribers as well. Kind regards from Will in the Netherlands. Congrats with your 100k+ subscribers!

@blackjack8957 3 жыл бұрын

Thank you for the interesting topic! To me, if the camera put the favorite JPEG images I would save my time to Raw developing. That's my best sensor and engine, all the photographer want. My case X-Trans II. It's not hard to choose one from many.

@charliejg 3 жыл бұрын

One thing you confirmed is that the X-T3 is a bit less punchy. But, I like the accurate colors. Having said that, your first comment is the most important of the video. Just have fun and learn to take good pics. But, mostly have fun with your camera. Great video! Rock On!

@ruudmaas2480 3 жыл бұрын

It all comes down to using RAW postprocessing and personal taste. The XT2 was my first Fuji camra. Somehow that too gives another angle to the perception🤪🤪

@eddy3011 3 жыл бұрын

Thanks for making this video. I lost my X-H1 in a rain storm (RIP) and got an X-T4 to replace it. My photos just seemed totally different and I didn't know why. I'm okay with adjusting colors and contrast in post but adjusting white balance is complicated and has severe changes so I leave that alone. That's probably the missing piece.

Someday get your hand on an X10, with the EXR sensor. It's is an awesome camera with a great little zoom. When I look back at my X10 pics I want to cry. Out of camera they are so much nicer than any of the XTRANS things I've shot since. Fortunately I still have it, along with my X100T and X S10.

Interesting video. I just picked up an X30. A bit harder to find, only 12 mp, but there was something about it that I really like. It will be fun comparing its X trans 2 sensor to the X trans 1 on my X-Pro1 even with the difference in mp.

@shawnj8765 3 жыл бұрын

Fantastic comparison. Sensor tech is only one aspect of the cameras. When you decide on buying a second hand camera, ergonomics and price also important considerations. For example, the XT1 starts with Xtrans II, so if someone likes that XT-x form factor, there will be no Xtrans I to choose from. I bought XE1 and XT1 at the same time but ended up only keeping the XT1 because it was so much easier to use.
