The X100T is what put me off adopting Fujifilm as a system

well, it really shouldn't. For many the X100 series is in fact the gateway drug

Regarding colours, the X100T has the Xtrans II sensor and more importantly the EXR Processor II. It's the same configuration as in the X70, X-E2, X-E2s, X-100S, X-T10 and X-T1, all of these will give you the some default colours and processing as your X-100T.

If you don't like it why not try a later generation camera for example:

X-trans III with X-Processor Pro: X-T2, X-100F, X-T20, X-E3 etc
X-trans IV with X processor IV: X-T3, X-100V, X-T30, X-E4 etc

the colour output from these will be different from the second generation cameras like your X-100T.

I've tried all four generations and I personally prefer the first generation and the fourth in terms of colours out of camera. The default second generation colours I don't like very much, they are too contrasty for me and also the auto white balance is too cool for my taste. Maybe that is your issue with the colours (e.g. if you are used to the warm Canon colours)?

Hey thanks didn't mean for this to be a fully blown out tec debate but appreciate the input nonetheless.

No a friend of mine actually lent me a X100IV for a test drive once - wonderful kit but same impression. Strangely, the older I get the more I'd rather let the machine do the work (Film?) rather than coping with the uncertainty of my decisions - I am relying on quality JPEGs more and more and that's why I choose another system as my main.

The X100T became a dedicated raf  > B&W kit. For the form factor and a colour output I "love"  I still keep 2 1st gen x100esses.

My very personal wishlist:

- Put a "normal" sensor inside please!

- Stop betting on the moire thing and faux film simulations - the build quality, ergonomics and lens lineup is good enough to persuade wannabe adopters.
