The X-Trans CMOS II sensor with a new color filter and built-in phase detection is a great innovation.

Not only does the camera produce beautiful colors, but Fuji clearly knows how to process skin tones – something Nikon and many other brands are historically not very good at. As a long time digital Nikon shooter, I am very impressed by the color rendition of Fuji cameras, including the X-T1. The amount of detail from the camera when using Fujinon and Zeiss Touit lenses is very impressive, especially when looking at images at 100% view. Does the X-Trans CMOS II sensor work as advertised? It certainly does, in my opinion.

Here is an illustration of a traditional bayer pattern color filter array compared to the new Fuji color filter array: Indeed, having shot with every Fuji X camera with this sensor, I have yet to see moire in my images! Hence, an anti-aliasing filter is not necessary, which in turn translates to sharper, more detailed images.
What’s different between the Fuji X-Trans sensor and traditional Bayer-pattern design, you might ask? While traditional sensors with a repeating Bayer-pattern color filter array exhibit moire problems and hence need an anti-aliasing filter to reduce moire by essentially blurring the image, the X-Trans CMOS II sensor has a new color filter array that has a more random pattern, which does not cause moire to occur in the first place. The sensor incorporates phase detection pixels right on its surface, allowing for much faster autofocus (see the Autofocus Performance and Accuracy section below for more information).
I don’t blame Fuji for reusing the sensor, since it yields beautiful images with a relatively low amount of noise, especially when shooting in JPEG format (unlike other brands, Fuji knows how to properly perform in-camera processing).
Fuji has been reusing its sensor technology on several cameras now and the X-T1 is no exception – it features the same 16.3 MP X-Trans CMOS II sensor as on the X-E2.
