Don't like X-trans even at high ISO.

If you switch to RAW and ISO 6400 you will see that X-Trans still has an advantage with lower chroma noise.

The chroma noise issue is apparent even in JPEG:

Never saw chroma noise as an issue, it's easy to fix. Loss of details and loss of DR at high iso usually more difficult to compensate. And this is where Bayer seems to be better.

X-Trans clearly has an chroma noise advantage over the T100 sensor, and the X-Trans III cameras overall noise performance imo.

This could be subjective, but I prefer the Fuji Bayer jpegs over X-trans in the DPR studio shots even at high ISO. The difference in amount of details Fuji pulls out of X-A5 and X-T100 is amazing compared to washed-out X-Pro3 jpegs.
