The X-T5 OOC-JPEG processing for NR is pretty far ahead of the X-T2 and does not have to be reduced to minimum to avoid considerable softness evident in the older body. Presumably this is due to the much-greater processing power.

I think youre the first person ive seen mention that. Not that i disbelieve you as i think its certainly possible and needed but do you have a source anywhere that has shown this.

The source is my eyes. I've mentioned it at least a couple times previously in threads where recommendations are often made to reduce NR to the -4 (minimum) on the X-T2 and even add some sharpening to overcome the smearing problem. I've suggested that you can back that off to -3 and retain plenty of detail in high ISO situations with the X-T5. Of course, this has a bit to do with the denser sensor as it relates to detail-noise ratios, but my sense is it has more to do with improvements in overall camera processing quality.

AFAIK, this is the first time the thought has been questioned. It doesn't really matter to me much as I depend on the raws for 99% of my work, but it's nice to have improved OOC JPEGs as I use them as a reference point. To my eyes, the extent of improvement is more than a subtle difference.
