Image characteristics are subjective, of course (not to mention being additionally dependent on the medium you view them on—whether that’s an iPad, a calibrated monitor, paper, canvas or whatever), and while the X-Trans III seems to be the one I get on best with, that’s not true for everyone. But do remember that you have lots of options for manipulating various aspects of the output, and each sample image you see on the web represents only one of millions of permutations. So you should be able to find a configuration (or rather, up to seven configurations) that you like; and like I say, the III gives you more latitude in that respect (as well as in terms of cropping) than the I and the II—which is why I personally tend not to take much notice of comparisons like this.

That's the point: looking at examples on the net you can easily fall for something which isn't necessarily true. I've seen some pretty bad examples of paining-like photos, with lost detail (but low noise), and while I'm normally obsessed with sharpness, I'm not sure if X-Trans is for me. At the same time I consider this as an opportunity to finally let go of pursuing technical perfection, and rather focus on other aspects.

Either way, thanks for your comment.
