10 Jul 2008Was a very good low light cameraI have owned the Nikon D70, D200 and currently still have the D80, D300 and Fuji S5. If low light photography is your cup of tea...then this is a very good camera. It beats the D70, D80 and D200 (anything over ISO 800 on these cameras are pretty much useless). However, since the D300 has arrived, (not to mention the D3), it is no longer my favorite low light camera. The D300 performs better in this area.

I've wanted to see what all the "5 stars," super reviews, etc. ...–Greg...Floridafrom Amazon.com
"The moment of truth has come for the Fujifilm FinePix S5 Pro ($1,900 street, body only). We've completed full lab tests on a production model, and with Excellent marks across the board in resolution (average 1970 lines), color accuracy (a stellar Delta E of 6.61), and noise ratings of Extremely Low through Low at ISOs 100-1600, the S5 gains an overall Image Quality rating of Excellent by a comfortable margin."
"Featuring exactly the same body as the Nikon D200, the Fuji S5 Pro offers a specific choice for those wanting a top quality DSLR but is the hocus pocus 12Mp resolution process a work of genius, or the tool of the devil?"
