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.

So you can recreate it yourself if you wish, using your current camera

Of course, I can recreate it with any camera, not only Fuji, but the point is, the jpg simulations are just a gimmick, they add a few with every new sensor, and now all look the same.

So all of the JPEG sims look the same? Please tell me more about how good your eye is to tell the difference between camera models and the loss of Fuji color.
