Why not investigate noise reduction software ?
Have a look at PureRAW 2. I use it regularly it’s superb.

I'm going to look into this too. I was out taking shots at night last night (handheld) so lots of noise. Can PureRAW2 be a plug-in for Lightroom? If so, worth it if I use Lightroom?

Absolutely. I use it as a Lightroom plug in. I was recommended it by David @Mr Perceptive
It’s become an invaluable part of my workflow.

It’s Camera dependent. Check your camera is supported.

Donna, DXO-PureRAW2 is very good, and yes you can use it as a plug in in Lightroom. They have only recenty added X-Trans sensors, and it now looks like most are supported. You can check here https://www.dxo.com/supported-cameras/

You do have to be careful with the sharpening slider afterwards, and sometimes the greens can need toning down a little afterwards.

I would say its definitely worth it if you are a Lightroom user. It is though quite processor intensive (with X-Trans and high resolution files eg GFX), so I import my RAWs into lightroom, select the images I want, do a rough edit on them, if I like the results, I then use DXO-PureRAW2 to reprocess and then re-apply my edit.

Was considering getting the Xh2/xt5 for "native" 20x16 prints at 300dpi then decided to run some tests on Capture one resize and ON1 resize. ON1 cest incredible! It takes forever on my 2014 mac haha but I wont be enlarging to this much each time. Saved myself £1800 there I think

@Mr Perceptive post above answers all this perfectly but just wanted to add that currently PureRaw 2 (and indeed DXO Photolab 5 & 6) do not support either of the new 40mp bodies.
According to a road map post on the DXO forum the XH-2 will be supported this month and the XT-5 in January in all 3 programs.
(XH-2s already supported).

Might not be an issue for you and whichever body you use but thought worth a mention just in case you have either of those bodies or were planning on getting.

Thanks very much, no plans for the XT5 'yet', so the XT3 is covered :banana:. I am not overly techie but love Lightroom, and so this could really help (once I get the other 'alf to look at and install...;) ). Happy Christmas to everyone for now though, just about to head home to warmer climates and see family.

Trying high ISO for a change. This was at 3200, and then took it through topaz denoise.

T5 100-400

Thanks, George...
Yeah a little bit, but still very wary of me. The monkey nuts help though :)
 
Is there any way I can do a firmware update without having a card reader? I tried plugging camera in to desktop but it doesn't seem to let me write files to it.

If you have a smartphone the use Fujifilm Camera Remote App.
Once smartphone is connected to the camera over Bluetooth it uses the app to discover if the camera needs a firmware update and does everything for you.

Initial bluetooth connection initialisation can be a PITA.
 
There is a X100F in LCE for £820. That’s about average going rate?

I’m still gutted missed that X-pro 2 for £600.

Seems a touch less than I paid for mine but they can vary with condition and what's in the box.

Looks like a good enough price to me though.
 
Found a X-Pro 2 at Harrison for £550 but it seems that has been through hell and back. ffordes has one at £650.

I might wait until after Christmas, I bet a few people are replacing it with a new camera in this period.

I would think a lot of dealers have taken part exchanges recently with all the offers, takes a couple of weeks to list the used stock, might be more available soon
