Got any dog?

Got a chance to try the X-A5 vs X-T20 in darktable. I've looked at both ISO200 and ISO6400, and agree that the X-A5 resolves details more accurate without artifacts. The X-T20 shot, whether Markesteijn or Frequency Domain Chroma, still have the artifacts at small details.

For example, without any sharpening applied, the text "as a compass" (left box) can be read clearly in the X-A5 shot, but not in the X-T20. I guess the X-Trans is still new and more complex, hopefully a better demosaic algorithm will show up eventually.

I still prefer the high ISO noise of the X-T20 over the X-A5, chroma noise is slightly less pronounced, but that's just personal preference.
