July 1, 2026 – CURRENT INFORMATION.
Unfortunately, it is clear to this day, that the problem of fine details blending in photographs has still not been solved and probably never will be. I have also discovered artifacts in images taken with the latest generation of 40 Mpx image sensors with X-Trans color mosaic. It does not matter in which program you develop the images. Therefore, if you do not want to risk, that instead of fine drawings in your photographs you will suddenly find only blended artifacts, choose Fujifilm cameras with image sensors equipped with a Bayer mosaic, or photographic cameras of any other brand.

FUJIFILM X-TRANS:

NO MORE UNWANTED ARTIFACTS.

February 9, 2020.
This brief article follows ►previous from 2017 year. It discussed the strange casting (merging) of details in photographs created with first generation Fujifilm (Sony) X-Trans cameras.

I was wondering, whether these unwanted artifacts also appeared in photographs taken with X-Trans sensor cameras of the last two generations (eg. X-H1, X-T3, X-T30 etc.) After thorough examinations, which lasted six months, I can confirm, that not.

I worked with Fujifilm X-H1 and X-T3 cameras. The development of RAW images took place mainly in the Capture One Pro, but I tried Adobe Lightroom Classic too, also without problems. The following photographs are proof, that X-Trans sensors in last two generations have overcome their initial ills and now we can safely use cameras with them.
