The S5 is a full-featured, professional grade camera that produces outstanding images. While the resolution looks closer to 6MP than 12MP, the dynamic range and lack of noise artifacts in high ISO settings is impressive. If most of your work is done in...
Outstanding image quality, excellent low-light performance, good shutter speeds, LCD magnification is handy, dual image file option
Add-ons can be expensive, realistic resolution is lower than advertised
If youre buying an advanced, enthusiast-class digital camera, you know youre going to receive top-of-the-line performance. The little things can set these models apart, and the FinePix S5 from Fujifilm includes quite a few very good features that wi...
Abstract: The Fujifilm S5 Pro DSLR camera is a real workhorse of a camera that uses Fujis exceptional Super CCD SR Pro double pixel technology (6.17 million S-pixels and 6.17 million R-pixels arranged in a diagonal matrix). Fuji is the only manufacturer to have...
Abstract: Robert Jensen The Fujifilm S5 Pro DSLR camera is a real workhorse of a camera that uses Fujis exceptional Super CCD SR Pro double pixel technology (6.17 million S-pixels and 6.17 million R-pixels arranged in a diagonal matrix). Fuji is the only manufa...
Abstract: In this vein, Fujifilm’s Super CCD SR II has been updated to the new Super CCD SR Pro. Using a unique layout of twelve million paired photodiodes (6.17 million larger ‘S’ photodiodes for main image information, combined with 6.17 million...
Abstract: 8.0Its clear the Fuji S5 Pro and the Sigma SD14 have no more in common than only an eccentric sensor, which isnt a Bayer CCD or CMOS as with most other digital SLRs. And with this the comparison ends, because with Fujis Super CCD and Sigma X3 Fove...
Rock solid build means that the Fuji S5 will withstand a few knocks in the heat of the action, improved speed of operation, impressive exposure latitude whether shooting landscapes or portraits, image noise unproblematic up to ISO1600, vivid colours with...
Youll have to budget for your own compatible Nikon F-mount lens on top of the price of the camera itself, plus the body is bulky. Expensive if considered from a consumer rather than a professional/enthuiast perspective and there are some question marks ov...
Fujifilm currently has one and only one digital SLR on the market - and thus it has been so since 2002. The S5 is a respectable addition to its cannon, Fuji having listened to the wants of previous generations of photographers, and generally ramped up ...
Abstract: The Fuji Finepix S5 Pro features an amazing sensor which delivers images of greater dynamic range than any other current DSLR camera. DP Review found up to 12 stops of dynamic range. As such it is capable of producing exceptional images which no other...
The Fujifilm S5 Pro is a bit of an odd fish, and stands out from Fujifilms range as such, primarily because its the only one of its cameras that isnt really aimed at the consumer market. Though a pro photographer cant very well grumble about the p...
Huge step up in body quality and performance thanks to Nikon D200 platform, Class-leading dynamic range with up to 12 EV in a single exposure, Superb out-of-camera JPEG with subtle color, tone, DR (though poor sharpness), Visible improvement in image qual...
Default settings produce very soft results (over-strong AA filter?), 12MP mode doesnt produce 12MP of detail, is very soft, shows artefacts and doesnt sharpen that well, High ISO noise reduction works well but again it is at the expense of fine detail, Ra...
Lets start with a little history. In the earliest days of digital photography the DSLR market was a free-for-all of alliances between camera companies such as Nikon and Canon and those like Kodak and Fuji who supplied the electronics and image proces...
