It's just a function of the way the demosaicing works. You can apply noise reduction to Bayer to achieve a similar noise-detail tradeoff to X-Trans, but you cannot effectively turn it off on X-Trans and get the detail back.

That's a good point and surely correct when considering pure SNR. Visually it might look different but that's a matter of preference.

However, since we are now at 40mpx I suspect the level of details will be limited by other things than the color filter anyway. If someone makes a similar camera with bayer (they haven't yet), it might not be able to resolve any more details.

If so, wouldn't that eliminate the downside of less details, while keeping the benefit of sampling from a larger area?
