And here I was, reading this thread, hoping to get some conclusion on which X-Trans sensor is 'the best', but it seems the answer is (as usual) more complex and depends on personal preference...

However, I have to agree: when using Studio scene comparison tool, I've noticed that colors from X-E3 are not as pleasing as other cameras. At the same time, no camera is perfect, some are too pink.

I was pondering buying my first X-Trans sensor camera, but now I'm not sure anymore if X-E3 is the best choice, naively I assumed it should be as it's newer than I and II.

I think everyone has responded to those comments re: X-E3 and X-Trans.

But what i wanted to add is, you can also tweak the JPEG files further with recipes if you aren’t happy with how the JPEG look https://fujixweekly.com/fujifilm-x-trans-iii-recipes/

Personally I prefer shooting RAW only, I posted another thread on processing fujifilm RAW file that you may find interesting https://www.dpreview.com/forums/thread/4631591

Thanks Raymond,

I also prefer RAW over jpeg, I don't mind fiddling with settings in Lightroom (although I'm aware it might not be the best tool to handle X-Trans RAWs), but I'm also curious how good SOOC jpegs are from Fuji, so might try both - we'll see, I've just ordered X-E3.

As for your RAW thread you mentioned: that looks like a lot of work! Lots of examples, it's interesting to see how different software handles those RAWs. And also, I didn't know about IXT tool, I might check it out.

Cheers
