&#149; The FinePix S5 Pro carries a number of features that made its predecessor, the FinePix S3 Pro, so popular with wedding, portrait and studio photographers. One is increased dynamic range from the Super CCD SR double pixel technology (6.17 million S-pixels and 6.17 million R-pixels). &#149; The new FinePix S5 Pro continues this tradition of expanded dynamic range and goes a step further by coupling the new Super CCD SR Pro sensor with Fujifilm's new RP (Real Photo) Processor Pro for even more outstanding, film-like results. &#149; Moreover, the FinePix S5 Pro will house the two technologies in a fully digital and durable metal alloy body frame. This opens the door for Fujifilm's digital imaging technologies to expandinto other applications such as outdoor and high endurance commercial photography. Image Processing and Quality:  Real Photo Technology Pro, which combines the Super CCD SR Pro sensor and the RPProcessor Pro, allows for the wide dynamic range with smoother tonality from brightest light to darkest shadow. &#149; The re-designed new Super CCD SR Pro featuresan optimized low-pass filter that will reduce the noise and minimize moire. The newly developed RP Processor Pro features two cycles of noise reduction so photographers can snap pictures at light sensitivities as high as ISO 3200 with less noise than comparable cameras at similar ISOs.&#149; Increased Color and Dynamic Range Control:  Photographers can choose from six preset ranges for greater creative control over the FinePix S5 Pro's expanded dynamic range between 100% and 400%, Three new variations of the original film simulation mode have been added (five modes in total) for improved reproduction of natural skin tones.  Face Detection Technology for post image verification:  At the push of a button, the FinePix S5 Pro's Face Detection Technology detects up to ten faces in a scene immediately after each image is captured. Photographers can zoom in and confirm facial detail, whether eyes are open or closed, focus and exposure on the FinePix S5 Pro's LCD monitor.

Awesome color without having to process
only drawback is it's a little slow and uses more expensive CF memory cards

Nice jpeg colours with no PP

I have had two Fuji S3 Pro cameras for several years [7 or 8] and have been 99% satisfied [100% if you limit comparison to all Non-Full Sensor cameras].   The S5 Pro is a definite step up as it has features the S3 Pro couldn't even 'think' of.   Even though the sensor is 'only' 12.34 Mp, it easily outperforms other APS sensor cameras even up to 18 Mp.   This is NO hype as I have done my own tests.

Daddy of S3 Pro

It's a good quality camera at an affordable price. Great for weddings.

Great camera for the price

Fantastic portrait and wedding camera, produces images with beautiful skin tones.

Fantastic camera!

Great camera I have used it every day since I got it. Takes great pictures and is easy to learn. Very well built.Shutter is a little loud but really not that bad. I own a Nikon D 300 also and have been using the Fuji on a daily basis.

Great Camera Love It

This is the first digital camera since I stopped using my Bronicas that I have complete confidence in.  It performs exceptionally and the results are professional quality. I no longer worry about exposure problems with the dynamic range increase.

Absolutely love this camera

Best digital camera I have had. Far better than the S3 by a mile. Color is great for portraits & weddings. Only thing wrong is the loud shutter click. In a quiet church it sounds like a gun shot.

Great camera!

Has good feel, can use all day long and not get tired.  Peole who look at my pics love the snap of the colors, even set on the defalt mode.  Intuitive control layout.  Easy to learn how to use.

Love the camera

As a life long Canon shooter, I was impressed by the Nikon D200 viewfinder and overall contruction and equally impressed by Fuji's reputation for color accuracy.  For me this is the first time combination really worked so I picked up the S5 with a 16GB CF card.  The bottom line for me has always been image quality and on that the S5 does not disappoint.  It brings the ease of use and control of the digital media with color accuarcy of NPS film.  Another wonderful combination is the RAW S5 image files and Adobe Lightroom.  The results are magical, the control over the final image is far beyond anything found in the analog film world and much easier to obtain and reproduce.  So if you can live with a camera with the thumb advanced film based SLRs operational speed and you desire professional negative film like attributes then you should consider the S5.

nice but expensive

I like clean high iso photos. Better than D200. [...]

Clean high ISO photos

Pros: It's good that a company can see past the megapixel buzzword hype. And it's even better to have the option of a NON-sony sensor to use with my Nikon glass. The images from my D2x may enlarge bigger/sharper, but the Fuji S5 consistantly outperforms it in terms of over-all image quality. What good is a 30x48 if the highs are blown out? I am seriously considering selling the D2x to buy another S5 (and another lens with the money left over!). But keep in mind, I only shoot weddings.

Cons: Not as fast as other cameras in the price range. It's a trade-off.

Great Camera for weddings

I would buy this product again and again

I have been blown away with this camera.  And not my highlights. Awesome feel and construction.  Perfect exposures with Fuji's DR ability giving the best digital results that I have ever seen.  Fuji continues it's tradition of best JPG's money can buy.

Dynamite merge of Fuji and Nikon D200

This is really the best Camera out there for under [$].  Built like a tank, solid, sealed, many options and flexible.  I have used cameras that are several times more expensive than this, and they did no better and most can’t produce the image quality of this rig.  Obviously, you have to do your part, and you will for sure need good glass.  This is NOT a good camera if you need to shoot at a high frame rate as the buffer is too small for the image sizes it creates (24.4meg RAW which turns into 69.9meg tiff).  Frankly, that is the only draw back right now other than the software that comes with it (it’s ok ) and some of the firmware is different than Nikon in the way you navigate the camera (medium learning curve).But the build quality with that sensor (NOT a D2X or DXS) make for a VERY compelling value in the DSLR market if you are a serious amateur or working professional.  This is my first foray into Nikon mount, as I am a very heavily vested Canon guy.  And I must say this camera just rocks!  And the fact that I can get a sealed body camera that won’t fall apart in my hands for under [$]??  Yup, I drank the kool-aid and I am glad I did!

Very Good Tool!!!

I've only owned the camera for about a week, but am very happy with the results. There is no Fuji RAW support in photoshop/lightroom for the S-5....yet.... and the Fuji RAW conversion software is not user friendly at all, very slow. Overall though thumbs up.

Very very happy

Having tried this camera, it carries on Fuji's excellent track record as a portrait/wedding photographers must have tool. Basically a Nikon D200 but with better software and a new twin fuji sensor rather than the flawed and very noisy Sony sensor in the Nikon. I've used it right through the ISO range with little or no noise on any setting. colours are excellent. like most good DSLR's though - you need some good glassware strapped to it to get the best out of it.

A D200 without the flaws

Its a D2oo with a fuji sensor.  Not a D2x sensor.  Just so you guys know.

Regarding desert rat

It's a great camera, It's a nikon D200 with the D2X image sensor
