How can we improve the image quality with the X-A1 at high ISO? Or, shall we simply accept the fact that the high-ISO X-A1 images are better viewed unmagnified?

Miki,

The smearing you see in your image of the two ladies, looks typical to me of the examples I have seen of Fuji's jpeg processing in low light on the X-A1.

I have seen similar results on my X-E1 when shooting jpeg, and I found pretty quickly that the amount of detail I could get from the camera was significantly higher when I shoot RAW. People seem to come to Fuji X cameras for either the in camera color processing, and never bother with RAW, or they are like me and discover the detail of X RAW files and just decide to give up on jpeg. I'm not sure which you are, but I have heard, as was already mentioned by someone else, that turning noise reduction down to -2 helps reduce the smear you are seeing.

I hope this helps,

Yeah I agree with you too NR -2 might work better.

I also email fuji canada about xa1 high ISO problem. I will keep you guys update if they reply anything useful
