ePhotozine reviews the Fujifilm FinePix S5 Pro and writes, “Using the same body as the Nikon D200, the Fuji S5 obviously has to differentiate itself in other ways, and the fact that the CCD and processing engine are completely different means that the cameras do head down very different paths. The headline resolution of the S5 may seem to outstrip the D200, at 12Mp to 10Mp, but this is generated from the SuperCCD SR chip, with its fancy honeycomb design and twin-photo receptors at each photo-site of which there are only 6M. The result is that landscape photos are not as impressive with detail tending to disappear in the distance because it wasn’t there in the original image. Also, artifacts from the SuperCCD process are evident right from the start at ISO100, though noise is then well controlled.”

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
