Trusted Reviews wrote a review on the
Fujifilm Finepix S5 and said: "The Fujifilm S5 Pro continues
in its predecessors’ tradition of providing superior dynamic

photographers, who will be delighted with its outstanding

Fujifilm FinePix S5 Pro News Release Summary:
Valhalla, NY, September 25, 2006 - Confirming the company's
commitment to professional photographers, Fujifilm today
announced the development of the much anticipated FinePix S5 Pro
digital SLR camera. The new FinePix S5 Pro is further
affirmation of Fujifilm's goal to achieve professional D-SLR
image quality consistent with Fujifilm's professional film
heritage.
The FinePix S5 Pro carries a number of features that made its
predecessor, the FinePix S3 Pro, so popular with wedding,
portrait and studio photographers. One is increased dynamic
range from the Super CCD SR double pixel technology (6.17
million S-pixels and 6.17 million R-pixels). The new FinePix S5
Pro continues this tradition of expanded dynamic range and goes
a step further by coupling the new Super CCD SR Pro sensor with
Fujifilm’s new RP (Real Photo) Processor Pro for even more
outstanding, film-like results. Moreover, the FinePix S5 Pro
will house the two technologies in a fully digital and durable
metal alloy body frame. This opens the door for Fujifilm's
digital imaging technologies to expand into other applications
such as outdoor and high endurance commercial photography.
Highlight features of the FinePix S5 Pro include:
Image Processing and Quality
Real Photo Technology Pro, which combines the Super CCD SR Pro
sensor and the RP Processor Pro, allows for the wide dynamic
range with smoother tonality from brightest light to darkest
shadow. The re-designed new Super CCD SR Pro features an
optimized low-pass filter that will reduce the noise and
minimize moiré. The newly developed RP Processor Pro features
two cycles of noise reduction so photographers can snap pictures
at light sensitivities as high as ISO 3200 with less noise than
comparable cameras at similar ISOs.
Increased Color and Dynamic Range Control
Photographers can choose from six preset ranges for greater
creative control over the FinePix S5 Pro's expanded dynamic
range between 100% and 400%,
Three new variations of the original film simulation mode have
been added (five modes in total) for improved reproduction of
natural skin tones.
Face Detection Technology for post image verification
At the push of a button, the FinePix S5 Pro's Face Detection
Technology detects up to ten faces in a scene immediately after
each image is captured. Photographers can zoom in and confirm
facial detail, whether eyes are open or closed, focus and
exposure on the FinePix S5 Pro's LCD monitor.
