Re: Bx100's high ISO butterfly photos with X-A1

Email Fuji Canada few days ago with sending some JPEG photos taken with XA1 and XT1 at iso 2000 at the same place, simlar timing and they replied:

Dear Customer,

Thank you for your inquiry.

The sample pictures taken at high ISO 2000 do not indicate an issue. The X-A1 does not have the X-trans sensor that benefits low noise at high ISO. If you set your iPhone to the same sensitivity the images would be incredibly noisy.

Thank you for choosing Fujifilm digital cameras.

Sincerely,

Digital Camera Technical Support

Somehow they are telling the true but nothing really useful. In the email I mentioned that the photo that taken by my friend's iphone was providing more detail than XA1.

Maybe my expectation is too high on Fuji? I think an APS-C camera should perform much better at iso 2000. At least my 3 years old X100 perform much better than that. I think the noise recuction on XA1 is too heavy and XA1's NR0 is now performing like other X camera at NR+2.
