Old Skin Tone Formula vs Today's Skin Tone Formula

I enjoyed seeing your photos.  I think some of the differences can be explained by a number of factors. For instance, the first photos of the gentleman have haze or flair in the 18-55 photo that affected contrast. I think this has more to do with the difference in look than sensor/processor.

Also the Canon comparison was taken in two different lighting situations.

I do like the look of older generations of Fuji and sought out the X-E1 for that reason. I do think there is a different look between my X-E1 and X-E3, but it is subtle and what differences there are can  be largely eliminated with post processing if desired.

I've got lots of projects and I'm not a big fan of performing tests, but I would like to do a test where I take photos of my X-Rite Color Checker with the X-E1, X-E2s, X-E3, X-H1 and maybe even my Canon 5D2 and analyze the results.  The problem with doing the test is it will be tedious to do in a way that would eliminate variables.

There's a consistency to the OP's posts. They tend to be negative. Things change.  The X-E1 and the X-E4 are very different cameras. It is unrealistic to believe everyone will greet every change with open arms.

I guess it is easier to post complaints here than figure out how to adapt to the changes.  It is also easier to complain than to analyze if Fuji is really suited to your needs and perhaps look to another system that may suit those needs better.  There's an aphorism regarding a pot that comes to mind.
