Thanks! Long Live the S5 Pro!!
I wish we had some S2 users join this thread.

Leica S2 or Fuji S2 Pro? What about the S3 Pro? Both the earlier cameras are meant to have some colour advantages over the newer one, but their total packages are just so much worse. For me the S5 Pro is the sweet spot.

The Leica can have their own thread. This is a Fuji SLR thread so I meant the S2 from them. Yes, the S5's camera body is better, but the S2 images are pretty amazing in their own right.

S3 Pro is better probably in quite a bit of options, only RAW support is even worse in this case as it works bit different. Tho I think my SilkyPix works rather decent with it. Should have less resolution issues (if it really has low-pass, then S3 has weaker). Its based on better body too.
I bought S5 Pro exactly for that reason, cause it seemed as sweet spot. Its "no problem" from operational point of view, just like D200.

I would rather say the other way around.

Aehm yea... my mistake. But it looks more "pro" with that grip and such. Its same base as SLR/n tho.. N80. Considering DxOmark.. it doesnt seem too promising, but I have very few RAW samples to my disposal so I really cant say. And absolutely no clue about S2.

The S2 produces some extremely interesting images. Here are some random S2 Pro images I pulled off flickr (not mine). Keep in mind, this camera is from the mid 90s!!!

IIRC the S2 Pro is not a CCD SR sensor. The S3/SLR/n body is rather plasticky, and the LCD housing on the back is rather fat and presses against your face, at least for the SLR/n. The menus are also a lot worse. The sensor is in some cases apparently slightly better, but IMO not enough to make the whole experience worth it. The S5 is quite a big jump from other cameras, so the small extra bump is not significant.

The body of the S3 is ok. I even liked the menu system with the third LCD that had direct access buttons to important functions. What was more problematic was the tiny, dark viewfinder and the small buffer. At full DR, it takes 3 RAW images and more than 40 minutes to empty it. Fuji actually came up with an improved model with twice the memory size, and older models could be upgraded, but cheap it was not.

40 minutes?

I presume 40 seconds! (which is already very long).

S5 is fairly sluggish (in comparison to later cameras) but I managed to shoot a series of 9 shots without it stalling in writing to the card...

You are quite productive. Wish I didnt want to sleep every time lately when I reach PC and want to PP something..
Seems you had and captured rather nice light.

I simply pause for a moment before shooting next. Yes its a bit slower, but I didnt buy it as sport camera. Plus when it comes to "decisive" moment, its about taking shot in right moment, not making burst of shots exactly around that moment (it usually ends that "moment" was exactly between shot number 4 and 5 ).
Having high FPS and deep buffer is somewhat overrated. It makes photographers lazy and in reality it doesnt improve photography itself much..

Ratty: what he said.. came home last night at around 01.00 and only had strength to mish mash pp a shot...
Mescalamba: well said. I am down to about 2 shots a scene and even that to compensate for my MF indecisiveness. I feel like obsessive compulsive person having to re-focus 10 times before taking a shot..
