Not looked at Fuji for a long time but was in London at the weekend and dropped into the Fuji store for a look around. The X-H2 has 40mp, correct? But when I look at the dpr sample scene they look soft and lacking detail? For 40mp was expecting a lot more? There are no X-T5 samples in the test scene so far, so wondering if dpr has a bad camera/lens?

Be interested in user feedback, as it might make a cool second body but if the results are typical, can't see much point over the 26mp options. There was a lot of interest in the x100 camera when I was in the shop!

I have the XT5, but it has the same sensor.

I certainly don't see anything like "soft and lacking details." I suspect that there is something wrong with the images themselves, either how they were photographed or how they were post-processed/printed.

I ran some tests on various lenses with my camera, and was very pleased to see that the 40MP sensor does register more usable detail than my previous 24MP sensor. I'll try to include a couple of examples below.

My sense now is that the 40MP sensor is a useful improvement for those who will photograph in ways that take advantage of its potential.

When in doubt, doubt.
