Reviews

DPReview: “The S5 Pro is an excellent camera because the D200 is an excellent camera. In fact there’s little to add to what’s already been said about the D200; the build is superb, handling excellent and feature set comprehensive.”
TrustedReviews: “The Fujifilm S5 Pro continues in its predecessors’ tradition of providing superior dynamic range and tonal quality for specialist portrait and wedding photographers, who will be delighted with its outstanding capabilities in these areas, as well as its superb handling, build quality and performance. It’s not really an ideal camera for the general consumer though, so if you’re looking for a similarly-priced general-purpose DSLR you’d be better off buying the Nikon D200 instead.”
photographyBLOG: “Fujifilm S5 Pro is well suited to both portraiture and landscapes – with good dynamic range and exposure latitude”
LetsGoDigital: “It is a fine digital SLR camera to work with, with especially excellent image quality. Finally, the unique Fujifilm technology is combined with the appropriate body. It’s a DSLR camera which can accommodate, and won’t disappoint, most photographers.”
ePhotozine: “if you are shooting predominantly landscape photos then the D200 is a better camera, but for portraits and use in more challenging light, the S5 is more capable. If you are looking at breaking into the wedding market though, then there really is no choice – the wide dynamic range of the S5 makes it far superior and it’s the only choice anywhere near this price point.”
KenRockwell: “The Fujifilm S5 is a specialized camera for people concerned with color, lighting tone, which are absolutely the most important technical elements of photography. Color is subjective. I prefer my Canons and Nikons for photos of brightly colored junk, while I prefer the Fuji S5 for people photos. Color is the most important aspect of any color photograph. The reason to pay more for the Fujifilm S5 is if you prefer its color. If you don’t prefer the color, other cameras are better for less. Get an S5 if you do people photography.”
Steve’sDigicams: “The S5 Pro is a very tempting camera to wedding and portrait photographers.”
ByThom: “Think of it this way: do you need a Toyota Camry (generally all-around decent wheels) or a Mazda Miata (more limited in function, but great at what it does do)? Nikon has produced one heck of a Camry (D200). Fujifilm has given us a Miata (S5 Pro). More people will buy D200s than S5 Pros, but a lot of those S5 Pro owners will be perfectly happy with what they get.”
CNET: “While a wide dynamic range lets it serve up tons of highlight detail and impressive overall image quality, the S5 Pro isn’t for high-speed sports photography, and it could use more resolution.”
PopPhoto: The camera produces both sharp and smooth rendering of detail, with little if any jagged edges at the limits of resolution, resulting in what are best described as creamy images
