Agree, but let's not go that way. There will be a thousand of inputs that we should all switch to Iridium as it is known to outperform the Adobe ACR and our observations will be easily dismissed.

I prefer to focus on the native Fuji processing engine instead, if they can't show significant advantages, then again, what's the point of having a different Sony sensor for them today?

X-Trans does still have a small advantage in the moire department and with optimal demosaicing I might be able to get a tiny bit more fine detail out of an X-Trans file.

This used to be true in the past when we compared X-trans to Sony, Olympus or Nikon sensors without AA filters. But the XT100/XA5 Jpeg engine from Fuji is doing an amazing job to reduce the moire with X-A5. IMO it's one of the best jpeg engine I've seen.

, but I agree, with high MP AA filterless sensors it’s advantages hardly outweigh its drawbacks (for Lightroom users, anyway). I’d very much like to see a premium Bayer model.
