I am anxious to see the latest 3.10 firmware update as it is suppose to also improve OVF frame line accuracy… I know if you want perfect frame lines and accurate composition you should just switch to the EVF, but the OVF has it’s own pleasure in usage and I am hopeful providing more accurate frame lines using the OVF with the latest firmware update will make it that much more enjoyable and reliable to use. very useable, from what I’ve read so far. though, the latest updates seem to make the X cameras overall perform so much better these days. For me, the focusing issues made me sell my Fuji X cameras. I had a X100 & X10 and loved the image quality… dynamic range, detail and color renditions just looked right to me… I imagine the same with the X-Pro 1. It would probably be my recreational camera to keep handy and just take pics with a fixed prime lens and be happy like that. But, I’d like to eventually pick up a X-Pro 1 someday just for a different type of shooting experience… I like the style and the image quality, especially at lower light and higher ISO’s are impressive alone just to have and use. My Olympus OM-D E-M1 fills a lot of photographic needs very well right now, a great pro-level workhorse camera, actually.

I much prefer C1’s output, but do miss LR’s ability to cull and sort my photoshoots via my iPad and iPhone.I think more of the issues you wanted resolved with the X-Pro 1 such as more auto ISO customizing is supposed to be released with the latest firmware 3.10 update… which was suppose to have been released, but has been delayed till, hey! which is tomorrow!… I can hardly wait to see how this latest firmware update will improve this camera which I’ve been tempted to pick up for a long time, but have held off because it didn’t quite feel complete and lacked in a few areas. Finally, highlights in C1 seem better handled, resulting in more natural tonal graduations at the top end where LR would produce a more harsh output. I also found Lightroom applied a slight red tint on the floor of some of my woodland shots which C1 made look more natural. LR enhance details works well when needed but results in ridiculous file sizes of around 150 MB. C1 is much better here and I have no problem with noise correction, great detail is retained and out of focus areas result in a nice smooth Bokeh. I’ve generally found keeping luma noise correction at 0 in LR works best for low ISO images and prefer the noise to the poor correction that LR applies. LR worm issues seem to been caused by the detail slider under sharpening settings, put this to 0 and increase sharpening amount instead seems to fix this, I can even reproduce the worms in my Nikon raw files if I push that slider too far. I haven’t noticed the vignette issue mentioned in this article, however C1 light falloff slider does default to 0, push this up to 100% and in most cases it matches LR’s Lens correction, sometimes I’ve found 80% optimal. Concluding that C1 produced more natural film like images, it’s noise correction and sharpening algorithms are substantially better than LR, though at normal viewing distances it’s not too noticeable. I’ve spent considerable time comparing both C1 and LR for Fuji files. However, with Fujifilm X-Trans cameras, it's clear that Capture One is the better choice.

This may also be the case with some Fujifilm APS-C cameras that use a Bayer sensor. Capture One and Lightroom perform admirably with Fujifilm medium format cameras. If you shoot with medium format cameras such as the GFX 100S and the new GFX 50S II, then the differences are negligible. Essentially, it makes images look like they have high ISO noise, regardless of what ISO they were shot at.

The worming issue creates an unwanted variable for which there doesn't seem to be any reasonable fix. With Fujifilm, there are objective differences that cannot be ignored. There was no clear way to determine a winner because both programs produced great results. With Canon and Sony, the choice between Lightroom and Capture One was entirely down to personal preference.

If you're a professional photographer, it may be wise to avoid Lightroom and use Capture One instead. If you're creating content for social media, then this may be a forgivable issue. If you're a landscape photographer, you will likely come across this issue in your images. Effectively, this worming issue is going to be a problem if what you photograph contains a lot of green tones, for example, landscape photography, All of the other images tested did not demonstrate any issues. From the images that have been tested over the last month, it seems Lightroom mostly struggles with the color green.
