Is less dynamic range but more color depth possible?

[al404]

I’ve owned all three of these cameras, and while I haven’t done any controlled tests, it seems to me that the X-T5 offers better color depth.

This is especially noticeable when shooting at sunset, where the sky is filled with a wide range of tones. In those situations, the X-T5 appears to capture significantly more subtle color variations compared to the X-T3 and X-T2.

As far as I know, higher dynamic range typically translates to greater color depth but in this case, it almost feels like the opposite.

Even Fujifilm claims that the X-T5 can render more color shades.

I no longer have the camera, but I’m considering buying one again.

Don't see anything between them to shake a stick at. Are you talking about the JPEGs the cameras produce? I processed the two raw files.

No I'm talking about about RAW

Not sure if in this example is possible to see how smooth is color transition

I remember reading that when Sony released the A7RIII, it modified the processing pipeline to increase the dynamic range at the expense of the colour depth, compared to the A7RII, which used the same sensor.
