This article points out that the X-T2's JPEG color algorithm is different from the X-T1 which was much admired for its rendition of skin tones. According to the mirrorlessons article, the X-T2's JPEG skin tones are more greenish.

In the comments under the above article, Luigi Cavalieri wrote: "The out of camera JPEG rendering of skin tones from the X-T2 has lost the fascinating quality which I appreciated so much with X-E1/X-E2/X-T1 cameras of previous generation. I tested myself now the X-T2 (with Provia) and watched the recent "Great JPEG Shootout" of the TheCameraStore TV. The findings are the same: The X-T2 JPEGs have lost VERY MUCH the "magic" of the known Fuji color skin tones - at least when comparing Provia Film simulation. Your review is also showing this difference very clear."

Any comments from people who have used both cameras?

The context of my question is that I am considering leaving Sony because of the poor JPEG colors, and am attracted to Fujifilm's reputation.

People tell me that I can achieve the colors I want with RAW, but I don't have time to fiddle with RAW. I want out-of-camera JPEGs to be really good most of the time. Sony's are not, for me.
