X70 Review at TheCameraStoreTV
HIGH ISO Sony A7II Vs. Fuji X-Pro2: “Even at ISO 25,600 difference less than half stop. X-Pro2 better color fidelity. Well done, Fuji!”
Don’t blame me guys… I just report what others say about the X-Pro2 (the good and the bad)… and in this case it’s the well known and respected review site admiringlight. Of course you are free to choose whom you trust or not. That said, admiringlight has, IMHO, shown in all these years that they really know their craft.
And now let’s talk about high-ISO!
Remeber when focus-numerique said they could not spot any difference between the Full Frame 24MP Sony A7II and the Fujifilm X-Pro2 at High-ISO? Well, admiringlight could see a difference, but even at ISO 25,600 it is just slightly in favor of the Sony A7II (less than a half a stop).
Oh… and before you start saying that Fuji cheats at high-ISO, admiringlight knows about the different ISO standards Sony and Fuji use, and compensated for that in its test.
Here an excerpt:
“At ISO 6400 and below, the two cameras are extremely close in noise performance…I’d estimate 1/3 stop difference or less. At ISO 12,800 and 25,600, the difference is a bit more pronounced, but still less than a half a stop difference, which I think shows a great performance from the X-Pro2.
However, the crops above don’t tell the whole story at the highest ISOs. While the color fidelity of both cameras is fairly impressive as ISOs climb, it is particularly neutral with the X-Pro2, which shows no noticeable color cast as ISOs increase. But most telling is in looking at the whole images, where the dark background of the images show distinct differences. The X-Pro 2 maintains good color control here and shows no visible banding. […]
Now take a look at the Sony image at ISO 25,600, below. While the well illuminated areas show slightly less noise, the dark background shows some pattern noise and maybe even some slight banding, with a slight purple color cast. There’s even what appears to be some sensor heat artifacts in one spot along the top edge, to the left of the book, that is showing some purplish blobs.”
admiringlight also compares the X-Pro2 with the X-T1, where the results up to ISO6,400 are similar, but “at ISO 12,800 and 25,600, the X-Pro 2 shows it’s stuff. There’s a noticeable detail advantage (again, even downsampled), and the noise is finer grained on the X-Pro 2. Still, it’s maybe a half stop difference at ISO 25,600 and maybe 1/3 stop difference at ISO 12,800.”

Mirrorlessrumors calls it “the battle of the Giants“. And sure, in the APS-C world, these are the two hottest cameras of the moment: the Fujifilm X-Pro2 and the Sony A6300!
Both cameras seem to winner for the respective brand and sell like hot cakes at AmazonUS. But which one performs better in terms of Sharpness (both cameras sport a 24MP sensor)?
Cameralabs compared the X-Pro2 with the (currently discounted) XF10-24mmF4 and the A6300 with the Zeiss 16-70mmF4 zoom. They say that “both lenses used are high quality and shouldn’t limit the sensor in each camera.”
The difference is overall quite noticable. Camerlabs mentions 3 reasons for the better results of the X-Pro2 (except the last crop, the Palm): 1) X-Trans 2) Lens Quality 3) Internal Processing. Here an excerpt:
“The Fuji architecture [X-Trans] allows it to deliver typically crisper results than most rivals, especially when coupled with a quality lens like the XF 10-24mm. This is most obvious in the first two rows where the Sony crops look comparatively soft in comparison. I’d say some of this is due to differences in optics towards the edges of the frame – where the Fuji lens is clearly performing better – but also in terms of the sharpness delivered by the Fuji sensor and its subsequent processing.”
As you judge the remaining crops towards the centre of the frame where the optics perform more similarly, there’s roughly the same degree of detail recorded by all three models. Certainly the Fuji sensor and processing are delivering a crisper-looking result using the default settings, but I wouldn’t say there’s more detail in there – it’s more that Fuji’s in-camera processing is doing a better job at delivering a crisper result, if of course that’s what you want. I reckon you could get a similar result from all three if you adjusted their in-camera JPEG settings or processed a RAW file with similar parameters.”
It’s really true when they say: “We buy cameras, but we invest in good glass“. As for many of you, the Fujinon Glass always was for me the main reason to stick with the X-series.
