Old Nikon Compared to my new XS10 (and XE1)

Unscientific comparission I did between my Nikon D90 /w AF-S VR Zoom-Nikkor 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6G IF-ED @ 300m, and the AF-S DX NIKKOR 16-85mm F3.5-5.6G ED VR @ ~80mm all at F8 and handheld with VR on.

vs my new XS10 /w XF70-300mmF4-5.6 R LM OIS WR @ 300mm and the XF16-80mmF4 R OIS WR @ 80mm. Also threw in a bonus XE1 /w XF70-300 into the mix.  Handheld with OIS and IBIS on.

Both Std/(Provia) SOOC JPGs. For its age I can't fault the D90 or its lenses but the Fuji colour and detail from the extra MP is nice. The D90 is too yellow. I do find the Nikon 16-85 particularly good.  Surprised the XE1 held up well but the focus speed of the XS10 killed it.

I love mine compared to my seven year older Canon. IQ has come a long way.
