X-T3 SOOC jpgs look like they are fallen appart

[User]

Hello, I just got an X-T3 after I have owned X-T1 and X-T20.

So far it seems like X-T1 is king regarding jpeg quality, followed by X-T20.

I have tried some film recipes from fujixweekly and on XT1 and XT20 they look normal, but something on XT3 looks way off and I don't know what is happening. If I have the same settings on XT20 as on XT3, the XT20 looks nice and usable but XT3 seems that it was over edited with strange contrast and blown highlights even when underexposed. Looks to me like its processed in less than 8bit somehow. 

Is there anyone here who can help me understand what is happening? 

 

1. here are settings from XT20

 

- here is an example from XT20

 

2. Using the same settings from the XT20, the XT3 jpgs look significant worst. They are not even overxposed. Even underexposed photo looks just bad compared to XT20

Welcome. The images do not appear in your comment

Firstly I don't see any of your images.  Could be me, but I'm not sure.  Secondly I agree where the XT1 produces some amazing images -- I still use mine over my XH1 for certain shoots.  I also feel the High ISO on the XT1 is a bit better than the XH1.  My opinion anyway.

As far as your issue goes I wonder if it has to do with the processing engine on the XT3 vs the XT1.  Maybe you need to tweak the recipe's to get what you want.  Have you tried that?

Thanks

I have tried to do some tweaks with the Kodachrome recipe  from fujixweekly and it seems that that particular recipe is not playing nicely. I tried another recipe's and they look definitely better

I am not sure why images are not displayed but I will try another way to show them:

1. Settings from XT20: https://1drv.ms/u/s!AtjXfWXuaCC7sDKGpK_AwNnfEhoj?e=7i2knj

2. Sample from XT20: https://1drv.ms/u/s!AtjXfWXuaCC7sDO_6qMHblju74tw?e=5SvZ8f

3. Samples from XT3 with the problematic recipe: https://1drv.ms/u/s!AtjXfWXuaCC7sDcMotzj3dfN_rEJ?e=oylhuR

4. This is just for the love of XT1 color tones which I love so much: https://1drv.ms/u/s!AtjXfWXuaCC7sDqbOIPcaqwiWnMh?e=aDAqEk

 

I really hope the links will work.

I tried different settings for jpg's in XT3. But I don't know what to do in the future though. I will definitely keep the XT3, but somehow XT1 is like a heartwarming camera. It blows my mind with the images it produces overall. This very thing makes me think that Fujifilm evolved for better performance trading the magic of image quality from the older cameras.
