I hear this is a hot topic, sorry, but I was intrigued to find out for myself why everything is so soft in Lr, I still have no idea. So, I updated my version of dxo to support the X-H2 and was very surprised at the output using noise reduction setting deep prime, indeed it does make things look far far better to my eyes anyway. So much so it seems to be equivalent, possibly better, than the A7IV which I'm sort of frustrated with. On the one hand the A7IV is a really great FF camera but on the other it really isn't great for long exposures. The wifi remote control is flaky and the Bluetooth control irritating. Although I'd prefer a smaller body than X-H2 it at least seems to do everything I want, including long exposures and focus stacking options in-camera without requiring remotes and controllers.

I am very interested in the X-H2 for travel with the Sigma 18-50 2.8 lens and Fuji 55-200, and probably the Tamron 11-20 once available but have noticed the 18-50 isn't working well for many with X-T5, is it the same issues on the X-H2?

If you mean the bad exposures at 50mm in "A" mode and auto iso, than I have been unable to replicate that on either my X-S10 or X-H2. All exposures spot on undert those condidions. So far in ly limited use I have been very happy with the 18-50 especially the compact size.

Thanks for confirmation, that's a relief!

Here's the conversion I did in Dxo which I found to be a lot better than the dpreview studio scene sample, anyone know what's happening with Lightroom?

Oh dear, there must be thousands if not 10s of thousands of posts on that topic over the years. That is a rabbit hole that has no end if you choose to go there. Personally I don't think LR is that far off and it is still my primary tool but I also have Cap1 and more recently DXO when I need something better.

Again, that's good to know, I wasn't able to make many satisfactory images with Lr, I'll update Capture One and try that too👍
