I have been reading posts by Diglloyd re the X-Pro 2. diglloyd - Guide to Mirrorless Cameras
The excerpts quoted below describe Lloyd Chambers' findings (this is a subscription based site so the details quoted below are not available to non-subscribers).
The issues are backed up with ample proof and clear images. They involve colour balance; grid artifacts; and, 'worm-like' artifacts - exacerbated with sharpening.
1. "...the X-Pro2 consistently delivers in-camera JPEGs with a green tint..." The recommended remedy is a global +1Magenta (B=1 R=1) setting.
2. "...the X-Pro2 can generate images with extensive grid artifacts over large areas of the frame, causing severe damage to image quality. The issue occurs with in-camera JPEGs from raw or when processing raw RAF files in ACR. Presumably it occurs with straight JPEG-only as well."
3. "Fujifilm camera bodies preceding the X-Pro2 [and including the new X-Pro 2 sensor] have all had ... fractal-like artifacts which crop up regularly, particularly with natural textures."
Has anyone come across these issues? The reason I am posting this is because I am seriously thinking of upgrading from my X100s to a T2 later this year.
