Reviewers #1 Pick For Most Impressive Compact

Fujifilm FinePix S5 Pro Review Part 1 at Ryanbrenizer

April 9, 2007

Fujifilm FinePix S5 ProRyanbrenizer has reviewed the Fujifilm FinePix S5 Pro and in part 1 he writes, “The Fuji S5, like the Fuji S3 before it, has a magic trick. It has two different sets of sensors capturing the same image. Big ones that capture the basic scene, and little, point-and-shoot-sized ones that capture the highlight detail. This gives it much better dynamic range than any other camera line on the market, which is particularly valuable for people who have to get a wide range of tones in one shot — like, say, an industry that specializes in shooting a woman in a white dress standing next to a man in a black tuxedo. Dynamic range can be valuable for landscapes as well, but landscape shooters tend to have the luxury of taking their time, and using filters or multiple exposures to capture a full dynamic range. That doesn’t work so well with weddings.”

Features include:

  • 12.34 megapixels
  • 11 point AF system
  • 2.5 inch LCD
  • Shutter speeds between 30 seconds and 1/8000 second
  • Super CCD SR double pixel technology
  • ISO of up to 3200
  • Face detection technology
  • Nikon F-mount and CompactFlash/Microdrive compatibility
