X-PRO 2 vs X-T1 Noise Comparison | Bill Fortney
In order to compare the new 24.3 mega pixel sensor in the X-PRO 2 with the 16 mega pixel sensor of the X-T1 . I photographed the same scene with the 35mm f 2 set to f 11 on a sturdy tripod and with the self timer on a solid floor. I then rezed up the files to 300 dpi – 36″ X 24″ size and cropped out the yellow section below for comparison at large print size. O.K. no more suspense, the top image in each category is the X-T1 the second the X-PRO 2. My evaluation is that the X-PRO 2 shows significantly more detail in the fine detail areas, no surprise with a 33% increase in mega pixels. I would have thought that noise would remain stable, but it has improved dramatically. the X-PRO 2 is at the very least 1 stop better than the X-T1, maybe stretching to almost 1.5 stops………
