5.0

The body of the S5 Pro is by far the largest and heaviest here: it's built like a tank, not least because it's clad in a magnesium-alloy shell rather than the plastic used in the other models.

A capable, but pricey, high-resolution DSLR camera with some functions that will particularly suit portrait photographers.Fujifilm's long-awaited successor to the FinePix S3 Pro is also built around a Nikon body (see illustrations in full review tab) and designed for Nikon AF lenses. However, the new S5 Pro takes Nikon's D200 magnesium alloy body as its shell, instead of the film-burning F80, which was used for the S3 Pro. The result is a camera with superior construction, a more solid feel and much better digital integration. The S5 Pro is also distinguished by Fujifilm's Super CCD SR Pro sensor, which uses double pixel technology to deliver an expanded dynamic range in shots.

Fujifilm FinePix S5 Pro Review

The successor to Fuji's FinePix S3 Pro made its first, fleeting appearence at Photokina in September 2006, though it didn't start shipping until the spring of 2007 - keeping in line with Fuji's approx two-year gap between SLR models. The S5 Pro may have the same sensor (well, almost - more about that later) as the S3 Pro, but as a camera it is a quantum leap forward over the models that preceded it, being based on the highly-regarded Nikon D200 (all the previous models were based on consumer level Nikon film cameras).
