Fujifilm X-E1 Artifacting: Counterpoint
This issue is present via ACR, SilkyPix and JPEG. SilkyPix and JPEG produce such impaire sharpness that that the evidence is less obvious, but it is still there.
See discussion of the Fujifilm X-E1 artifacting issue, which is identical to the Fujifilm X-Pro1 as well as the Fujifilm X-E1 artifacting example and the reader comments.
Just published in my Guide to Mirrorless is a Fujifilm X-E1 artifacting counterpoint example.
This example is of the same scene with same lens, same RAW processing and sharpening, but varies in reproduction ratio slightly, and in color temperature of the lighting. The artifacting is still present, but in some areas (doll’s hair), the difference is night and day. As of this writing, the reason(s) for this difference are entirely unclear, but what I found in field shooting the X-Pro1 was that some images look good, and others look truly awful.
