Disregard the color, I believe we didn't make an effort to sync white balance.
Both at iso2500, both at f2, in about roughly the same composition.

I'm guessing the difference in shutter speed had something to do with the focal length of our lens.
As you can see, with a larger sensor, it seems the Fuji has a better bokeh at f2 than the Olympus OMD. I recalled someone mentioning that Bokeh f2.8 on an APSC sensor is equivalent to f4 for a FF 5D MKII...maybe that's why the 24-105mm was set at f4 which was sufficient for FF with nice background blurs.

The x100s does low light better than the Olympus IMHO, of course since it has the bigger sensor the dots are more refined, less jagged compared to the OMD. I did feel at some point that some of the smoothness did feel a bit fake, almost noise-ninja like processing, especially when you look at human skin and clothing texture, noise-ninja does the same smoothing out the way Fuji does with its lowlight shots. But then again between that and the OMD's noise handling, I'd pick the Fuji because I'd likely end up sending the OMD through noise-ninja to clear it up anyway, which is what Fuji has already done so I skip one step.
Overall both are great cameras. I thought the white balance on the OMD for that evening was a bit bland, it didn't pop, but maybe I didn't set the settings correctly for the camera, overall it can be amended PP via Aperture.

I think for fair comparison, white balance should be left as auto.
Force of habit I guess, the moment I entered the room I took a plate and set WB.
plate is reflective leh. How to use that to set white balance sia.
I recalled it was either Al or Uncle Tony who taught me that, maybe both.
Basically you use the plate to reflect ambient light and take a photo of the plate, then use that image as reference to set custom WB.
From looking at the other images I took that evening, the plate method seems ok leh.
ic! ok next time I will try if got chance.
Oh yeah, naturally the plate has to be white. The camera custom WB will assume the reference image you give it is meant to be white, and the change its WB settings accordingly.
