>There are at least 3 reasons that you see less noise when viewing X-Trans raw files:>1) Overstating of ISO. All manufacturers exaggerate the ISO rating, but Fuji cameras are 1/3-stop less sensitive at low ISO and 1 full-stop less sensitive at high ISO compared to other digital cameras. When you compare the low-light/noise performance of Fuji, it is best to compare Fuji ISO6400 to ISO3200 on the other camera.>2) Demosaicing. The unique arrangement of the CFA requires a more complex algorithm to demosaic the raw data and generate an image. The results of the demosaic process can vary greatly and are completely dependent on which raw converter you use. Adobe's demosaic performs more filtering than other converters, so the resulting image has less noise and less detail than other converters. Photo Ninja performs less filtering during the demosaic process, so the resulting image has more noise and more detail than the same image converted in Adobe. You can't actually view a raw image, you are always viewing the results of the demosaic process. What appears to be less noise in the raw file is actually more filtering during the demosaic.>3) High ISO manipulation. Fuji cameras don't actually use any ISO higher than 1600. Whenever you set your camera to ISO3200 or 6400, the camera will use ISO1600 and underexpose the image by 1 or 2 stops. The raw file will then be digitally gained to reach the intended brightness.
