Raw File Malleability- Insane
2

Just got to give a plug/shout out here on the 24mp raw files from Fujifilm cameras. It's ridiculous how good the raw files respond to push and pull in post, and the control over noise, especially for APS-C class cameras. Color bleeding is almost completely absent, even at a max "push" ISO of 51,200 out of camera, and detail from X-Trans is still ridiculous, which I might add, requires ZERO post process sharpening.

For an example of what I'm talking about, take a look at a quick product shot here. I'll go on the record by saying the 24mp sensor from Fujifilm has the best DR and noise control over all APS-C sensors, especially so at higher ISO's.

The only NR was chroma, +10 on the chroma slider with a +20 blend. This is insane good at this ISO level and competes very well with Full Frame cameras full stop.
