I noticed this too. Sometimes it guesses wrong when it does highlight/shadow color recovery and you end up with some weird color casts. I wouldn't use Photo Ninja as my primary RAW converter, the...

I just started my trial of photo ninja today, and I am impressed at how good the photos look upon first importing, and photos look great using minimal adjustments.  I don't like are the lack of...

I finally got around to upgrading my version of Lightroom to 5.2 so I could open X-A1 raw files.  What I see is, if you compensate for Fuji overstating ISO by 1 stop (Fuji Cameras on both DPReview...

These are from the ISO 6400 bookshelf test shots on photography blog.  The X-A1 is on the left, the X-M1 on the right, the X-A1 clearly has less noise, but the noise reduction is also wiping out...

both vkphto's images are processed RAWs.  The X-M1 from Irident, the X-A1 from LR5.

On photography blog, although the X-A1 high iso bookshelf shots look less noisy than the X-M1 shots the, X-A1 shots also look very blotchy like a water color painting.  This is most evident on the...

This is why comparisons with x-trans are so difficult, to get the most out of x-trans raws you need to use a different workflow than with bayer files.   As we have seen in this thread, RAW x-trans...

I used to have a G1X it delivers sharper images than a NEX with the 16-50pz kit lens, it is a stop faster, and has more reach.  So if image quality is the primary concern, that is the reason to...

It is difficult to tell how good the X-A1 is from those color charts as there isn't much fine detail, and the test shots are taken at different shutter speeds, apertures, and focal lengths.  But...

I think much of the difference boils down to different default settings for sharpening, clarity etc.  The defaults in Photo Ninja look sharper, but you can achieve pretty much the same look by...

DXO published an article on the diminishing returns of faster lenses. Basically as you go larger than F4, the amount of light gathered by the sensor no longer doubles with each F stop. And to make...

I find their lens ratings quite useful, I find their measurements are pretty in line with what I see in terms of sharpness, CA, vignetting etc. I use their measurements to plan lens purchases. I...

I just sold my G1X but it's photos that make me regret it. The image quality is better than pretty much any mirrorless camera with a kit lens, except the Fuji 18-55 which is more expensive than...

There are situations where you want bokeh and there are situations you don't. Why take a photo of someone in front of a waterfall/river if you are just going to blur out the background?  I've seen...

Unfortunately, it isn't the return of EXR sensor and Fuji's pixel binning. It only has an EXR II processor, the fuji's x-trans sensor cameras had EXR processors too.

I'm interested in a side by side comparison too.  Any sites or forums have side by side image comparisons between x-trans and the bayer x-a1 sensor yet with the same lens?  I was about to pull a...

It does seem that way. The other advantage of the Fuji's are the better JPEG engine, and colors. But since a lot of the people interested in the X-A1 will be people who don't like the RAW hassles...

My observations as a NEX and G1X are the same as yours.  The G1X has slow but reliable autofocus, the NEX has fast but not always reliable autofocus (sometimes giving the AF confirmation when it is...

According to the review it uses every 1 out of 16 pixels for autofocus. That must have have some, albeit small, impact on image quality.

I am not bothered by the AF speed, it is good enough for my purposes and it is dead accurate.  Most mirrorless cameras have faster AF, but not all are accurate as the G1X's AF.  The lack of close...
