FujiFilm FinePix S5 Pro Pro Reviews

PhotographyBLOG‘s review Edit Like Unlike

The Fujifilm S5 Pro is a bit of an odd fish, and stands out from Fujifilm's range as such, primarily because it's the only one of its cameras that isn't really aimed at the consumer market.

The Fujifilm S5Pro SLR is not the fastest camera, but compared with the S3Pro, it's a speed demon. You can just keep shooting, without having to wait all the time. The advantage of the Fujifilm FinePix S5 Pro is that it uses Nikon's advanced AF technique.

If you're a portrait photographer I bet you'll love the increased dynamic range and film simulation of the S5 Pro provided by the fourth generation Super CCD. Likewise Fuji's Face Detection Technology is a real time saver in the studio. The S5's body is lightweight, the controls are well-placed, and the grip is very comfortable to hold. The ability to record JPEG and RAW files simultaneously allows you to review smaller-sized images, yet retain the ability to work with the RAW files later. The RP Processor Pro reduces dark noise to deliver a cleaner image, and permit light sensitivity up to ISO 3200. And if you already own Nikon lenses and speedlights, compatibility with the S5 Pro is assured.

The Fujifilm S5 Pro continues in its predecessors’ tradition of providing superior dynamic range and tonal quality for specialist portrait and wedding photographers, who will be delighted with its outstanding capabilities in these areas, as well as its superb handling, build quality and performance. It’s not really an ideal camera for the general consumer though, so if you’re looking for a similarly-priced general-purpose DSLR you’d be better off buying the Nikon D200 instead.

Ultimately it's hard to wholeheartedly recommend a 6MP camera that costs $1900 when you can get exactly the same model with 10 megapixels (and better continuous shooting) for quite a lot less. Of course no one is going to buy the S5 Pro for its resolution, nor are they likely to be swayed by a few hundred dollars. And you need to be producing serious enlargements to see the D200's sharpness advantage, whereas you can see the S5 Pro's DR advantage and great color even in a postcard print. It's not for everyone, but for studio work, portraits and demanding dynamic range work (such as weddings) it fits a sizeable niche perfectly.

While a wide dynamic range lets it serve up tons of highlight detail and impressive overall image quality, the S5 Pro isn't for high-speed sports photography, and it could use more resolution.
