No. The tested specs are fact. The S5 was long ago surpassed in DR. Your eyes are simply covered with rose coloured glasses.

Hahahaha you know what you might be right. Now that I remember when I had the S5 I think I was comparing it to the XE1 at that time and I owned those two cameras. By the time I purchased the XT1 I believe I didn't have the S5 anymore.

I remember "testing" both XE1/S5 and shot both the same wat at some bushes with green leaves and red flowers against the sun towards noon. It would be interesting to see the difference in output if someone has both a XT1 and the S5

There is more than just plain DR range and specs and I would be interested to see how the actual "look" difference compared to a XT1. Again, the S5 produces a very different and more film look and it would be interesting to see some samples just for plain photography fun

I posted some S5 Pro examples shot against an XT-2 about four months ago. If you missed them, here's the link:

My S5 Pro conversions at that time were done with Lightroom but I've since moved my workflow to Fuji's Hyper-Utility HS V3. In all likelihood I could get even better color out of the RAW's if I re-did them.
