Thanks for a lot of work done and a very coherent result. Unfortunately, the video ends with an emphatic insistence that Fuji has been the only developer of sensors different from, and better than, the typical Bayer array. No mention at all of the expensive, extensive, and technically even more radical- and even higher quality- work on the Foveon sensor cameras by Sigma; I've owned all of their bodies, including the highly capable SD1, with terrific results. Any reasonable survey of these technologies really needs to include a shoutout to Sigma, if not also a basic explanation of how Foveon works.

Interesting indeed. Why are you not on my watch list yet 😒 Well now you are.... Thanks for sharing Thumbed UP of course

Interesting Video, I wonder if they move away from the X-Trans on day would they have to abandon their current lenses or do those come along. I know a few people who are interested in Fuji but are unsure of the future of the brand .

+James Moore hi James. Thanks for your question. There is absolutely no reason to be concerned about Fuji. The brand is alive and growing rapidly. With regard to the sensor and lenses, it's doubtful that Fuji will move away from X-Trans. Instead, they will continue to improve upon that technology by continued research of film, optics, and silicone. Good news is that the sensor has nothing to do with the lens. If they changed to another sensor, the lenses would work the same as they do now as long as the sensor was the same physical size. Cheers!

@Gary Camden thanks for your reply. I found the site through google and I'm in the hacking process atm. Takes a while so I will get back to you later with my results.

@Gary Camden it did the trick and I actually got access to my account again. Im so happy! Thank you so much you saved my ass :D

Why does Fuji's Medium format camera, the GFX use a Bayer CMOS sensor rather than a X-trans sensor? Do you think in the future they will make a medium format camera with a very large x-trans sensor?

+shanon Stevens Hi Shannon. That's a great question. Fujifilm has been down this road before with the X100. It had a Bayer sensor as well. My best guess would be that, like with the first x trans processor, there is a lot of research and development associated with a new format. That means that it's probably harder to develop for the sustem because it would require retooling existing product lines to facilitate the new GFX, or they would have to create the whole production line as new. Fujifilm has a history of bring careful with it's investments. Did you know that when the film crash happened in the late 90s-00s they used their color and chemical information to start a cosmetics line? It's very popular in Japan. That move, although bold, was also a calculated move the company made to weather the financial drout digital cameras caused the film industry. Calculated boldness with a determined caution is part of Fujifilm. So, I think that they used a Bayer sensor because it was less expensive to develop a new platform around. Of course they teerked the software and designed the hardware to compliment. Just like with the X100, if the GFX is successful in Fujifilm's eyes, they will commit to an X-Trans sensor. Cheers.

Came for the x-trans sensor history, got a talk on a single camera range.

Restarted comment.. the Xtrans history is all through the video. I talk about the design and difference up to the point that the video was published.

You're talking about mosaicing and demosaicing in the wrong way. The whole pattern is a mosaic of red green and blue 'tiles'. Every tile (which is called a sensel on the sensor) receives the value for only one color and is therefor failing the other two. In order to give every tile its full color, the color information from the neighboring tiles is given via a complex calculation, called an algorithm. So a sensor with a Bayer filter needs a debayering algorithm, a X-Trans sensor needs a de-X-Transering algorithm and so every sensor needs another demosaicing algorithm to get rid of its mosaic. After the demosaicing has taken place, every tile has become a pixel with the color values of three color channels. What's stored in a raw file is the bare data of the sensels, not the three color channels per pixel, but eventually - after demosaicing - every sensel represents a pixel.

Yes, all true and correct, unless it's a Sigma Foveon set of layered sensor arrays, one for each of the basic RGB colors. The Foveon system is the only one that does not require some interpolation of values, but does require a lot of processing; the X-Trans is a reasonable compromise between Bayer and Foveon, IMHO.

Sony makes sensors for Canon? Not so shore about that..

They do actually. Nikon, Apple and many more. Canon designs their own sensor I believe but Sony producers them.
