As a side note, is there any modern camera that could reproduce the d200 or S5 pro IQs?
Let’s not be ambitious and just say we want the same kinda of colors - but the fall offs, softness and all that are okay to be different.
Like you suspect, a modern CMOS sensor with its tightly packed pixels just isn't the same as a low megapixel CCD (or even early gen CMOS) in terms of light leak from pixel to pixel and color rendering.
I hesitate to say these older cameras are "filmic" but they ARE unique. My Canon 5D files certainly have that something that is missing from modern cameras, even being a CMOS sensor.
I would just pick the body you think will work the best. The D200 isn't as highly sought after compared to the S5 Pro thanks to influencers lauding the Fuji more despite being extremely similar. The main difference you'll find is the Fuji trends cooler in White Balance.
