The FinePix S5 Pro will stand apart from the crowd by combining the much sought-after picture quality of Fujifilm's Super CCD SR sensor with a fully digital and durable professional metal alloy body. With this superior combination of truly professional handling and image quality, the FinePix S5 Pro will appeal to a broad range of professional photographers looking for something more in their D-SLR.
Improvements over the S3 Pro
- Image processing and quality
- Real Photo Technology Pro, which combines the Super CCD SR Pro and the RP (Real Photo) Processor Pro, allows for greater dynamic range with smoother tonality from highlight to shadow
- The improved Super CCD SR Pro features an optimised low-pass filter to reduce noise and minimise moiré
- The newly developed RP Processor Pro features two cycles of noise reduction which enables photographers to take images at even higher sensitivities (ISO 100 to ISO 3200) with visibly reduced noise
Sensor
The ultimate goal in development of Fujifilm's D-SLR cameras has been to maximise image quality through constant R & D into the Company's proprietary sensors. With the introduction six years ago of the acclaimed Super CCD, Fujifilm has moved away from increasing the pixel density in favour of image quality developments that increase the overall performance of the sensor.
The FinePix S5 Pro will see the refinement of a winning formula – Fujifilm's Super CCD SR II will be updated to the new Super CCD SR Pro. Using a unique layout of twelve million paired photodiodes (6.17 million larger 'S' photodiodes for main image information, combined with 6.17 million smaller 'R' photodiodes for bright area information), the S5 Pro will deliver improvements in noise, dynamic range, colour and tonality. Further improving the capability of the sensor, a new, improved low-pass filter will ensure that moiré and noise are kept to an absolute minimum.
Fuji technicians believe improvements in these key areas will be of more true value to professional photographers – the challenge is quality of information, not quantity of information.
Image quality
The redesigned Super CCD SR Pro sensor will be at the centre of the camera's performance. However, the new Real Photo Processor Pro will ensure that the information is handled in such a way to produce images that are beautifully vibrant, with colour recorded as the human eye sees it. The processor's two stages of noise reduction will deliver an impeccably clean image, and also permit light sensitivity up to ISO 3200 whilst achieving sharp, low-noise images. A new dark noise reduction process, subtracting the residual, ambient noise on the sensor from the actual exposure, helps the camera produce smooth, clean images even when long shutter speeds are used.
Camera body
With its predecessor achieving recognition for its excellent ergonomics, the FinePix S5 Pro will take the system into a different league, using a tough, professional magnesium alloy shell. With weatherproof seals, and first-rate design, the S5 Pro will be a camera truly deserving of the term 'workhorse', equally at home in the studio as on a nature assignment in a humid rainforest. The camera's shutter mechanism will be testament to its durability, as it has been tested to exceed the key benchmark of 100,000 cycles.
