Re: Fujifilm S5 pro vs Fuji X100

Does anyone have both cameras and can write few words about color rendition and image quality ? Is there big difference between these two? Having S5 pro few years I need to pick up compact camera capable of producing images close to S5 .--

I have still the S5 and now the X-E1. The x100 (I had it just for a few days) has a normal cmos sensor (Sony 12MP).

Compared to the Nikons and Canons the Fuji x line has still good colour, but the dynamic range - specially in the highlights - is not even close to the S5pro. Also not the smoothness of the files.

I see thex100 asan in betwenn old and new FUji. If you want a compact modern FUji, I would choose the x100s or the X-E1 with a prime lens. But the results will be different from the S5pro, and not universally better.

I love the size and weight of the X-E1.

Cheers
