I've had a modern Fuji, the T1. And it did not impress me in any way - not in colors, nor in DR. DR is slightly less then Nikon D7500 gives, colors are, in most cases, even slightly worse then Nikon D7500 gives.

While DR of S5 is also somewhat lower then I am getting from D7500m it colors I enjoy more. Clearly SUPER CCD Technology is superior to cmos where it comes to ISO 100 color reproduction comparing. While X-Trans is the same CMOS with the same strengths and weaknesses of every CMOS sensor.

The issue of DR is not open to debate. Both the XT1 and D7500 are far superior to the S5 in dynamic range. If you aren't impressed by the DR of the XT1, then you'll hate the S5. So you reasoning falls apart.

As to color, with the latest Fuji cameras receiving some of the most glowing color reviews of any brand, I'm not sure why you find fault. The color was actually very inaccurate with the CFA on the S5.

In term of DR though, every brand beats it now. You don't seem to have a very good grasp of sensor tech.

I know that Fujis power is to highlights recovery. I doubt any of these cameras you posted is coming near to Fuji in terms of highlight recovery
