Doesn't that simply mean that the other apps have more default sharpening?Still quick underwhelming. In fact if you use the studio test tool in the newly published DPreview X-E1 review, you will see the LR4.4/ACR7.4 processed Fuji files still require a good amount of sharpening to look even remotely close to the competitors. Very frustrating....

My comment is from my own experience. I have used the GXR M module, my MFDB and my Leica M9, all of them have no AA filter, all of them look leagues better than than X files in LR with nothing but default raw processing profile. My files(from fuji) just don't look 'right' yet!sorry, i don't go by dpreview's tests, i use my own experience with the program on my own photos. i had a few shots where the raws were previously unusable, and after they lr update they are now usable. yes, i have to apply more sharpening, but the color bleeding and watercolor effects were much more damaging than the extra sharpening is. in the end product, the extra sharpening in the raw file isn't noticeable. it's not perfect, but it's definitely a big step forward.
sorry, but you didn't mention any of your own experience in your first comment, just the dpreview test.My comment is from my own experience.

Fuji went through all the trouble to eliminate the AA filter, and they make a big fuss about it in marketing. So maybe my expectation was set a bit too high from my own experience with normal bayer sensor with no AA filter...
I agree - the final product is the true test. It would be great if you would post your opinion of the large prints when they come in.i'm adding more sharpening to my fuji shots and have been happy with how they're coming out, both on the computer and as prints. i'm waiting on some larger prints to come in, that will be the true test on how the lr update is performing.
i'll let you know on wednesday.I agree - the final product is the true test. It would be great if you would post your opinion of the large prints when they come in.
