Yes and yes. The differences may be harder to qualify. “Better” is impossible to define. And aesthetics can’t be measured. But as Fuji has grown they’ve shifted noticeably toward a less daring and more generic approach to color science. My xpro3 and x100v produce images that look a lot more like Sony-Nikon-Fuji. My xe2 and x100t tilt more toward and old school slide film look...

2 years ago I said: "As a former XE-1 and X100 user, I prefer the overall look of my current X-T3 files. Including color."

I have to take back that statement. I agree recent Fuji sensors produce files that look generic, and the film simulations are barely noticeable anymore. The uniqueness so many people love about the original X-Pro1, X-T1, etc is gone.
