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.

Posting some nice meaningless charts is one thing, looking at real photos is quite another.

Now this is really end of discussion. S5 photos look clearly better. (btw I was watching a side by side comparison between gfx 50r and X-T3 and the general opinion was X-T3 photos looked better. My conclusion was just to grab another S5 while they are still available)

A chart showing the actual DR of sensors is not meaningless...unless one desires to be purposely obtuse

Didn't you read? bobogdan78 said it's the end of the discussion. He has pronounced the verdict. His word is final and who are we to question it?

I ended it before him...LOL. These people are funny...they close their eyes and cover their ears and shout lalalala. Truly bizare.

Actually this should have been a friendly discussion and your (both of you) sarcasm is the only bizarre thing around. I can feel some kind of frustration here?! or maybe some trolling attempts? Photographers are/should be beauty lovers, a lab chart is really uninteresting to my eyes and I don't remember anyone having a chart printed on the wall. If you have one/several at home/office just to remember how much superior your latest cmos sensor is, then enjoy your chart wall prints!!! Btw I didn't say it's end of discussion as my own verdict, fPrime's pictures did - a picture is a thousand words, remember? A chart is ... whatever you want but it has little to do with real life photography. Leave the charts alone and enjoy beautiful pictures!!!
