>>4077645>if the noise reduction applies to raw why is it not fair to compare them?You can add NR to RAWs in post, you can't remove baked in noise reduction in post, so seeing this in RAW files is bad.
>i see a bigger difference in lens resolutionwide open, definitely, but stopped down (and if the images were scaled and aligned correctly) the differences become much smaller, and the Sony lens is definitely not noticeably better when stopped down.
>the sony outresolves the gfx here, whyI'd guess that's down to fuji using old optical designs for film, with less vignette but more resolution falloff. If we compare the centre of the image, the larger sensor clearly takes the lead. pic related.
>>4077646again, these high iso images are meaningless for noise comparison due to varying amounts of noise reduction. If you want to know the "real" amount of noise then just look at dynamic range charts.
