Kav ... skyscraper floor size limitations have absolutely no merit ... although - the lifts need regulating some ...

French Fries neither ... clearly, the bigger ones are more filling, but the smaller ones may well be tastier ...

But, pixel size is so varied ... and that factor makes all the MP comparisons - absolutely meaningless ....

That's why it needs better control - to protect the consumer ....

So he or she doesn't wind up with worse pics, even tho' their MP count is twice the size of neighbor Fred's ...

So far I've been very pleased with my month old Fuji X-T2, but I don't know what to make of these two photos. I saw what I now believe may be the same oddity in an 8 second exposure of fireworks, but passed that off as smoke. No smoke here. If you look at the two photos posted, they are very sharp up in the clouds that I exposed for. Looking down to the top of the tree line there is some understandable underexposure and resulting loss of sharpness. But now look down at the lowest section of trees/bush. It looks like it's "blooming" for lack of a technical term. The lens was Fuji's own 18-135 3.5/5.6 lens, with no filter on the lens. I had the hood on, which shouldn't matter as I shot from inside the house, and through a window. I know Fuji has several presets for the dynamic range which is now set to automatic, but I should think that would simple apply to balancing the exposure more and nothing to do with this "blooming?" Any ideas anyone? The posted images are showing much darker than my images, but I think you can still see the problem.
