Thanks & a Couple Questions Re: Fujifilm X-T100

Good to see this. Use of a X-T100 for astro was a topic over at that forum due to its conventional Bayer filter.

I'd like to confirm that I correctly understand your charts. For the X-T100, the Shadow Improvement chart shows little shadow improvement w/ higher ISO & the Read Noise charts show much higher noise compared to say an X-T20 or X-T2. Would it be correct to conclude the X-T100 will have much worse S/N for astro imaging than the other 2?

So does a Shadow Improvement of less than 1 EV mean the shadows are suppressed at higher ISO (to reduce noise)? The Canon 6Dii shows much higher than 1 EV shadow improvement w/ higher ISO.

Regarding your request for RAW images for measuring fixed pattern noise, I have an X-T10 similar but not the same as an X-T1. Is that helpful to you? Is fixed pattern noise included in the read noise charts?

My simple comparison of FPN - a 2 & 4 min. dark frame boosted 4EV during RAW conversion- shows a substantial difference between the XT10 & my XT2 w/ the later showing fewer pixels w/ FPN but they are much brighter.

Thanks much!
