I've been without a Fuji for approximately 4 months (it feels like a lot longer than that) having sold my X100S. My reasons for selling were that I was never really happy with what I was seeing out of the X-Trans sensor, there were some issues with the camera's operation that bothered me based on the way I tend to shoot (which have now been remedied for the most part via firmware), and ultimately the camera was quite expensive if I wasn't thrilled with either of those two things. So I took a look around my house at the photos that I printed or that I shared with family and friends on social media and realized the vast majority of them came from my 5DII. There was just something I wasn't getting out the the X100S photos. The foliage smearing was certainly something that bothered me (as I didn't want to have to mess with various RAW converters) and many of the images I took simply didn't look like photographs (I felt they rather looked like illustrations)
Lately I've been reconsidering the X100S as I really do miss the experience of shooting with it. I also miss the high ISO performance in such a small camera (my E-PL1 just doesn't cut it as a second camera for the lighting conditions I tend to shoot in). I've looked at all the various options in terms of a smaller companion camera to my 5DII and am realizing I'm not wanting to get into another system camera, so I'm considering picking up another X100S. As an exercise I went back through my X100S library and reprocessed some of the photos I wasn't quite happy with in hopes that I might come to terms with the look that I feel the X-Trans sensored cameras tend to give. Here are the results. Thanks for indulging me.
