It is obvious from my posting history that I support Fuji and their innovativeness, as well as the results from the finished, marketed products.

Here are screenshots from the JPEG and RAW comparison sections in the X-E1 review. The results are essentially the same as for the X-Pro 1.

Why are even the X-E1 JPEGs inferior, markedly, to these three other cameras. One is even just a µ4/3 sensor but it is noticeably sharper!

Look at what happens with the green feathers on the Fuji, compared to the others. First, the JPEG:

The RAW result is no better:

It looks as if Fuji cannot resolve green detail. Is that why Fuji seem to have trouble with foliage?

What is wrong here?
