Something odd about Fuji's sensors
On 2014-03-02 08:03:45 +0000, RichA said:
I've played with various sample images from their cameras that use the non- Bayer sensors and I've never seen one that matches the sharpness of a m4/3 or APS sensor. They have really low noise and good control of moire, lower noise than some FF sensors, which I thought at first was due to some kind of blurring function. But even using careful sharpening to the limit befor e artifacts crept in, I couldn't get their shots as sharp as a conventional sensor's. It's not all bad. Their control of noise actually preserves so me resolution better than that of noisier Bayer sensors, but in critical in stances where ultimate sharpness is needed, they don't hold up. At least as far as the samples I've seen. These don't seem too bad for an Fujifilm APS-C X-Trans CMOS; http://www.fujifilm.com/products/dig...x_pro1_007.JPG http://www.fujifilm.com/products/dig...x_pro1_030.JPG http://www.fujifilm.com/products/dig...x_pro1_018.JPG -- Regards, Savageduck |

There is still a place for APS-C, and I like a lot of what the X-Pro1 promises. -- Regards, Savageduck |

Yeah, if a OVF is important to you (even if it's "just" a rangefinder) then the X-Pro1 is the route to go. I can relate to that, of course. I really dislike EVF's still. Even on the Sony A7.

If there was a Nikon equivalent of the X-Pro1 with F-mount I would have bought it in a heartbeat. -- Sandman[.net] |

It has a pretty unwieldy way to deal with Nikon G-lenses that lack an aperture ring. Also, you lose autofocus, right? -- Sandman[.net] |

It seems to be more trouble than it is worth unless there is some specific need to use a particular Nikkor G-Series lens. So, I intend to buy an X-Pro1 and a few of the Fujifilm X-mount lenses, starting with the XF 35mm f/1.4. http://www.fujifilm.com/products/dig...talogue_01.pdf -- Regards, Savageduck |
