Fuji Featured Forum Thread: 'X20 Samples'

[Bencho]

I find that your pictures helped me, find what I was looking for. It seem that the fuji can not handle the bright light, I am not sure yet, but I keep looking around for more share of photography from other users. Thank you in advance.

Nice shots, Rico!

Rico, after using the X20 for a bit, where have you netted out WRT when you shoot with it vs. the X20? Is it down to when you want ExR capability vs. not. Thanks.

Here are a few Lightroom versions and examples:

I don't use DR400% with the X20. Actually, I try to stick with DR100% (and DR200% in extreme cases, but with different exposure correction). Good ETTR exposure and Lightroom RAW processing lead to very good results with the new sensor. As you can see, I can extract plenty of DR w/o an EXR DR sensor. It may not be as simple as using the X10, but if done right, the results (12 MP) will be superior. I had a few 30x40 cm prints made on photo paper at Fuji Direct, and I have a hard time seeing any difference between shots taken with the X-E1 and the X20.

What are your views on the noise processing of DSCF0324?
The images remind me of my old Lumix TZ1 and its noisy sensor.

Since NR is off in LR and I don't usually change that, I have no view on LR's noise processing here.
