Yes --that's the argument Clive99 was proposing. What I'm saying is: what would a high end user lose from a little bit of in-camera sharpening? If nothing is lost, then they should apply the same parameters for both JPEG engines. Just my opinion (of course I could be wrong!)

Everything has pro and con, including sharpening, it's a matter of selecting the "right" balance. Too much and the image will look too unnatural, especially skin imperfections for portrait. And as I showed in my previous post, noise will be more visible with more sharpening, too.

I still have no idea how Fuji chose the default settings for different cameras. I guess they did the research and designed a camera with targeted market segments in mind, thus, the default settings are decided accordingly.

The optimal settings are slightly different different display sources ie for screen vs printing. Perhaps the low end ones are optimized for screen in social media? If you over sharpen you can't recover, so maybe that's why higher end ones have less sharpening.

Frankly, it does not concern me at all - I have yet to even look at a jpg file from my camera.
