Re: S3 / S5 pro colors in X range ?

I have and is using both S5 pro and X pro2. This is my person experience/preference. I like the SOOC images from the XP2, but if I plan to do any post processing for a paid job, I will always go with the S5 pro. It's hard to explain but the RAW files from S5 pro has so much latitude in post processing, and not only in the highlights but also in colors. However, I would not use the S5 pro in any situation where I need higher ISO than 800.

So, this is now two cameras coexisted. S5 pro for studio shoot, outdoor portraits in good lighting. The XP2 is for amusement parks with the kids, weekend outings, indoor, hanging out with friends, parties...etc...because of wifi and people in this day and ages can't wait to get the photos to put on Facebook!

To summarize my reply:

S5 Pro for paid jobs and X-pro2 mostly for personal use. I know many many pro got excellent results with XP2 but just my personal preference, I still love using the S5 Pro ( I have 3 of them currently)

Here are two sample photos I took to compare the two when I first got the X-pro2. Please ignore the crappy post processing, I did it quick but the same way to compare the two. X-pro2 image just seem a little flat when comparing to the S5 pro.

However, I still love the XP2 when I use it. Such a beautiful camera, light in weight, has wifi, and it has videos.

And here is some more sample of the S5 pro
