Which is your favorite Fuji sensor (Fuji users with more than one camera)

That's the simplest way I can put it

The new Fuji stuff definitely has more resolution and detail in their images and you can really tell, and the bodies just keep getting more and more refined and are really nice for sure, not to mention AF, BUT, to my eyes there is just something missing compared to the older stuff to the point where I decided to keep shooting with old stuff

I guess is just a matter of personal taste. For some very strange reason the older color tones is what actually drove me to leave Nikon for Fuji, but not the newer 24/26MP sensors.

I only have experience with the X-Pro1 and X-Pro2 but I agree with that.

I love NIkon for natural light btw. Some of my all time favorite photos were shot on Nikon and I'm sure the colors were a big influence on the way I shoot. Pretty sure that's straight out of camera.

Partly I think it's down to the demosaicing algorithms - I really geek out about the X-Pro2's demosiacing algorithm here. About halfway down the section that starts "A Random Chapel"

Basically it seems Fuji's sharpening algorithms looks for areas rather than edges creating a "sharp yet smooth" rendition.

And the colors are very different between the two generations, I'm not sure why. The later cameras are much more saturated. In fact going from Provia to Astia to Pro Neg Hi to Classic Chrome, primarily it just seems to be "toning down the saturation".

That highly saturated look can be nice, but I much prefer the more naturalistic colors of the X-Pro1.
