There's really no reason to be nasty. I just don't get it. What's your beef? Does it tick you off that people get good images and don't use Fuji? I've tried Fuji and my response was "Never again"

Maybe you should tell us we're not seeing what we're seeing in the pictures themselves.

The fact is that Adobe tends to apply a certain amount of noise reduction without letting you know and without asking you. It does this in both Photoshop and Lightroom. Not every user is aware, and I've been tripped up by this myself. I haven't recently checked whether my Capture One is doing the same thing.

Clearly the PHOTOGRAPHER has applied no noise reduction because those figures are within the software's normal range of reduction. So the question that some might ask is why you are so quick and willing to cast aspersions on their character or honesty. Pointing out what you've spotted is helpful. Trashing other people is not.

No noise reduction or sharpening ? Really ? How do you explain that I can find in the image metadata things like :

Xmp.crs.ColorNoiseReduction XmpText 2 25
Xmp.crs.ColorNoiseReductionDetail XmpText 2 50
Xmp.crs.ColorNoiseReductionSmoothness XmpText 2 50

Xmp.crs.Sharpness XmpText 2 25
Xmp.crs.SharpenRadius XmpText 4 +1.0
Xmp.crs.SharpenDetail XmpText 2 25
Xmp.crs.SharpenEdgeMasking XmpText 1 0

Beeing a fanboy is OK, but you are pushing very far here. How can we trust you for the remaining while the only thing we can verify is wrong ?

What's your agenda ? (don't answer, I press "Ignore user" anyway because I'm fed up with dihonesty).

We don't need to ask YOUR agenda apparently. You make it blatant:

Repeating "no NR, no sharpening" let people believe that Canon's sensors dominate the APSC world, which is not true, and which is very misleading.

The answer's simple. Just use whichever sensor YOU consider "dominates" the game league tables .(Fuji?) ... oops I mean "APSC world" and ignore the rest.

Being a fanboy is OK, but you are pushing very far here.

Irony.
