LLoyd Chambers is right

He is 110% right with his assessment of the X-Tran sensor.

Lloyd is completely fair, I've exchanged several emails with him over the years and he has always been helpful and honest.

Call it pixel peeping, but the reality is that if you are printing your photos fairly large you always want as much detail as possible. There is obviously an issue here with RAW and although the jpegs might be good, they are not capturing detail that one would expect from a high performing sensor!

I REFUSE to buy into a system until this issue with RAW is resolved. Your opinion may vary, but this is mine.
