See my post, above...a couple of issues, thoughI don't want to create a flame war but;
what the hell Ashwin?
I have been shooting cams to 30 years, professionally for 20.
Until just recently my go to cam was a Cambo RS with a combo of Aptus 65s and Credo back. I spent most of 2013 in a hospital and wheelchair and now have a restriction on how much weight I can carry for the next 5 years. This forced me to make a change to continue to do what I love.
I researched the crap out of what was available and made an informed decision to use the Fuji mirroless; the deciding factor was THE IMAGE QUALITY AVAILABLE ON THE X-TRANS SENSOR.
I have used the highest resolution backs with the (arguably) best lens (large format technical). I didn't make the choice for the Fuji as some hipster wanabe looking for a camera to match my goatee.
I am highly qualified to make educated opinions on image quality.
I am communicating on this thread to help Jono with an issue she found on her new camera.
I didn't realize that suddenly made this a forum for non Fuji users to bash what they haven't used recently or perhaps don't understand how to get the best from.
I get tired of reading people rehashing negatives that have nothing to do with this wonderful camera. Try it in Capture One, learn to work the raws; then make an informed comment.
On the subject ACTUALLY POSTED;
I did a couple more experiments and found;
Green smear seems to sometimes appear in jpgs with the 18-55 at 18 with the automatic barrel distortion being applied by the camera.
A jpg of the same scene with the correction turned off in camera resulted in much cleaner image across the entire shot.
The same scene in Photo Ninja with barrel correction resulted in distortion correction without smearing.
This is all on an x-e2 as I am waiting for delivery on my x-t1.
As it uses the same sensor; I am assuming that a similar result may occur on the x-t1.
I hope some of this information helps Jono.

1. Jono is a male...just figured I'd clear that up off the bat
2. You have nice gear.
3. We are all entitled to opinions. Yours and mine are equally valid...we just see value in different aspects of the same issue.
4. Sorry to hear about your health issues. I am glad that you are back on your feet, and have adjusted to maintain the passion that you love...a passion that I share. As a health care provider caring for injured athletes trying to get back to their activity, I very much appreciate your quandry and the change that you made.
5. I am not bashing...just expressing my own opinion, based on extensive experience with the X-system, which I do really love... Smashing lenses, incredible color, detailed files (except where there's smearing in LR at least...I have a totally LR work flow, so using another converter wouldn't work for me...my own limitation). Capture one is not an option given my present work flow and commitment to LR5 (my library has far too many images to be proud of lol)
6. I am very informed....but I am entitled to my opinion...and that's really all it is...
Okay, I'll pipe down now, but you managed to get my attention
