The FujiS5 Pro has many more features than advertised!
4 of 4 found this helpful I am a long time Fujifilm FinePix Pro series user and the S5 has so many features that I only dreamed of. A small example is a digital grid in the view finder. This makes it so much easier to hold the camera parallel to the surroundings in a dark room. That is a small thing that effects a lot of photos at weddings. The engineering team have really created a terrific tool. I am still exploring the many, many features. They are overwhelming!
The biggest plus is that the highlight burnout has been greatly reduced. This camera records dramatic contrasty scenes beautifully. Earlier models would have totally lost the highlights. This is a huge step forward. Also, due to much improved exposure range, I find myself making a lot fewer adjustments in PhotoShop. I am recovering hours of free time and posting images much faster than ever before. The images need very little adjustment.
The one negative, for me anyway, is that your older Nikon flashes, SB 25, 26, 27, 28, etc, will not work with TTL accuracy ... you really will have to lay out another $200 - $300 to update to a Nikon SB 600 / 800.
I have now had the camera for more than a year and it still has the "wow" factor. Imagine choosing the aperture and the shutter speed and letting the camera choose the iso that will give you the best exposure ... its part of the package and really works well. I appreciate the camera every way that it can be measured. If you are considering a Fuji S5, I highly recommend it.

You really don't need another lens! Just this one.
The range is fantastic on his lens, the macro ability is fabulous too. I recently bought the lens AGAIN after running into a door jamb with the first one and basically destroying it. If I break this one, I'll buy another. Great lens! The ony disadvantage is that it isn't a great low light lens. But, if you want a 2.8 aperture, you'll have to pay more than double the price. I'm good with using a heavy tripod and this lens.
