You can't go by the far from optimal default Lightroom import settings used for the DPR examples. With processing optimized for the 40 MP sensor, they look look just fine - The DPR and Imaging Resource test scenes from the X-T5 and X-H2, no lack of sharpness here...

I've long felt that using so-called default import settings is a mistake. No one actually does that — everyone uses settings for import and other states of normal post-processing that recognize the unique qualities of each camera's files and optimize of them.

I disagree here, I think a lot of people do that. Many folks seem to think that you are supposed to start with the application default settings, many not realizing that you can (and should) fine-tune the default import processing for your specific cameras and workflow. These are the same people that go “ Lightroom sucks, look how flat and dull everything is compared to Capture One”.

That's how photographers work, and comparing optimized files presents a better idea of the capabilities of a system.

I agree that that’s how photographers ought to work.

Doesn't any modern application like LR have camera specific default settings, as opposed to camera unspecific settings? Not sure that I understand what you really mean.

And by the way, as a general comment, I'd like to see a clear definition of resolution versus detail, in layman's terms. For me, resolution is the number of MP and detail is e.g. how well a text is readable.

software has some camera/lens specific settings — see the lens profiles in Adobe software for example. But these typically just compensate for things like barrel and pincushion distortion and vignetting. That is useful, but not what I am referring to.

for example, I use lower “details” values with my 16mp and 24mp Fujifilm files than I use with 40mp Fujifilm file and different settings than either of those for 50MP FF Canon files.
