COMPARISON :: Fujifilm X-Pro2 Vs. Fujifilm X-T1 @ High ISO (up to 25,600) :: And the Winner is….

ISOISO

In my article “10 Reasons Why the Fujifilm X-Pro2 Surprised Me” I’ve placed the High ISO performance on the first position. The first High-ISO Samples looked just great, and according to focus-numerique, the X-Pro2 has the same performance of the Full Frame 24MP Sony A7II at ISO 6,400

Well, this time it’s billfortney, who compares the Fuji X-T1 (X-TransII) with the Fuji X-Pro2 (X-TransIII). His conclusions:

My evaluation is that the X-PRO 2 shows significantly more detail in the fine detail areas, no surprise with a 33% increase in mega pixels.

I would have thought that noise would remain stable, but it has improved dramatically.

The X-PRO 2 is at the very least 1 stop better than the X-T1, maybe stretching to almost 1.5 stops. Look at the black scissors, the X-PRO 2 not only has deeper black within noise to speak of, but much better texture detail as well. I can’t believe I’m saying this but I think I might actually rely on 25,600 if I had to, it looks remarkably good!”

For those who already used the dpreview studio shots and imaging-resource comparometer to compare X-Trans1/2 cameras with the X-TransIII X-Pro2, this will not be a surprise.

Fuji X100T & Kaizen Love? “High Chance of Firmware 2.00 for Fuji X100T” – SRP (NOTE: Long Term Rumor)

Yes !!! Soon Iridient Digital also for Windows / Linux (Public Beta in March/April)

It is considered by many the best RAW converter for your X-Trans files: Iridient Digital! The problem so far? There is just a MAC version.

However, this will change soon. According to a comment to this stevehuff article, Brian will launch a Windows/Linux Beta version in March/April:

” I’ve made major progress on the Windows (and Linux) ports of much of my RAW processing pipeline in the past couple months. I hoped to have a public beta in Jan-Feb, I’m now aiming for March-April. Initial product(s) on Windows won’t be the full Iridient Developer application, but the most critical processing elements will be there. For those that use a primarily Lightroom based workflow the new product(s) should be more convenient and have a much lower learning curve than a more full featured RAW processor like Iridient Developer anyway.”

Fuji X100T & Kaizen Love? “High Chance of Firmware 2.00 for Fuji X100T” – SRP (NOTE: Long Term Rumor)

asdeeeeeeThere is hope, for Fujifilm X100T shooters :)

A source right in the past told me that:

  1. There is a “high chance” for X100T Firmware 2.00 to come, but the source can’t give a 100% sure confirmation for now (and maybe not even Fujifilm itself is 100% sure to release it at this stage)
  2. The source has no information about an expected release date of the Firmware (and probably not even Fujifilm itself has, given how often FW-updates have been postponed in the past)
  3. The Firmware will bring new features, but the source could not tell me if it will be a vast improvement like the X-E2 FW4.00.
  4. I’ve also asked about the X100S Kaizen FW, but the source was way less confident about that. I still hope that it will get at least a minor update (Classic Chrome). In the meantime you can download the free X100S (and X-E1/X-Pro1) Classic Chrome Lightroom Profile at the Fuji X Forum.

It will be my job & priority to give you an update as soon as possible.

KEEP IN MIND that this is a Very Early Rumor… and you know what this means: Fujifilm can change plans anytime (X-Pro1s anyone ;) ?)

Early rumors are the main reason why I can’t share 100% correct rumors all the time (I’ve shared “only” 84% correct rumors in 2015 – and actually more, if Fuji would not have changed plans so often).

Well, I believe that most of you guys out there know how to deal with early rumors. But to be sure, I’ll launch a Poll and take it as a reference for future early rumors.
