Have a look at the color patches on dpreview's studio shot comparison and compare any X-trans sensor with a bayer sensor with the same size and pixel count. Use RAW and high ISO to clearly see the difference. X-trans is clearly better for noise, and also clearly worse in detail.
- CarVac 4y agoIt's just a function of the way the demosaicing works. You can apply noise reduction to Bayer to achieve a similar noise-detail tradeoff to X-Trans, but you cannot effectively turn it off on X-Trans and get the detail back.
- Kon5ole 4y agoThat's a good point and surely correct when considering pure SNR. Visually it might look different but that's a matter of preference. However, since we are now at 40mpx I suspect the level of details will be limited by other things than the color filter anyway. If someone makes a similar camera with bayer (they haven't yet), it might not be able to resolve any more details. If so, wouldn't that eliminate the downside of less details, while keeping the benefit of sampling from a larger area?
