The resolution is kind of in between 6MP and 12MP because the special honeycomb layout allows better upsizing compared to other pure 6MP sensors.

Later in camera or in the RAW converter these two images get blended together. At the time you take a picture actually two images are created: one with the S-pixels and one with the R-pixels. Then there is a less sensitive and smaller R-pixel that captures extended highlight data. The larger part is called S-pixel and is responsible for the normal image capture (lower highlights to shadows). This nominal 6.1 MP sensor has a split pixel at each pixel location. Ok, all the other manufacturers also try to improve the ISO performance but only Fuji created a sensor design that captures a higher dynamic range. In some way Fuji is the only sensor manufacturer who puts image quality higher than pixel count. The main difference we have to deal with is the camera sensor, the electronics and the menu structure. Not as heavy as the Nikon D2x or Canon 1Ds Mk. This is one of the finest digital SLR bodies we ever used.

This way we don't need to review the body itself because the in our Nikon D200 review we were full of praise about the D200 body.

Now with the new Finepix S5 Pro finally Fuji uses a very good body: the body is essentially a Nikon D200 body. We are really not that demanding about the camera functionality but a body has to feel right. This hardly ever excited us about the Fuji SLRs. Comparing Canon 1D Mk III, 5D and Fuji S5Īs usual we work only with raw files and use this time Camera Raw 4.1, Fuji Hyper Utility 3 or LightZone 3.x.Īll images are also sharpened using EasySįuji had in the past always excellent sensors in their digital SLRs but the Nikon bodies they used were alsways derived from lower end Nikon bodies.
