Pros: Super CCD SR pro 6+6 Mpx SRII honeycomb sensor. pixelx S and R, effective dynamic range up to 400% and constant up to 800 iso, excellent color rendering without plugging shadows and burning highlights. excellent tonal passes. Ergonomic camera body shared with Nikon D200, F bayonet. Motherboard, processor and sensor developed by Fuji.

Cons: Slowness in writing the buffer, noise at high ISO, chromatic tendency to magenta however correctable.

Opinion: Excellent camera still at the top today in terms of dynamic range and excellent management of lights and shadows, also good color rendering of the super CCD SR which sometimes tends to magenta which can also be corrected by adjusting the fine WB as follows: in the menu: white balance / fine adjustment / AWB / pre WB, I set these values +1 towards red and -2 towards yellow: the magenta cast thus seems more contained, or almost eliminated. Not all current Raw Converters correctly read the pixels available in the file. Raf and in some cases only 6 Mpx are managed, Silkypix studio 11 standard (certainly also the 12) reads all 12 Mpx and takes into account the extended range up to 400% up to 800 iso, but to have the right detail you need to activate, in development settings, the "Resolution Plus" parameter just and only for S5 and S3 with a value between 90 and 100, this is to integrate in detail all the effective resolution available with the pixels R) . . so in fact the output jpg becomes sharp and corresponds to the resolution of 12 Mpx. In practice, the operational slowness is a bit the only flaw of this excellent camera which, however, shines in the management of the range and color rendering even in high-contrast scenes. too bad that after her a sensor with similar characteristics has not been developed.

Pros: color rendering, jpeg, dynamic range

Cons: Very slow, heavy raw

Opinion: It was my first DSLR I had two weddings and it accompanied me on many trips, exceptional sensor with color rendering and dynamic range incredible not only for the times. Possibility of adjusting jpeg and those in the room in order to minimize the pp. Unfortunately it is really slow, not slow slow, after a short burst you have to wait for the buffer to drain. The management of flash light is also excellent. I still have it and sometimes I use it.

Pros: Overall yield

Cons: slow buffer writing

Opinion: My S5 and D200 are fixed pairing for portraits. The D200 is better for speed, buffer and color rendering, but the S5 is appreciated for other features that make it indispensable and for this reason the two bodies integrate perfectly. The camera body is identical to that of the D200, they change 'only' the sensor, the firmware, the battery and, of course... surrender. Compared to the D200 the S5 with the standard parameters, shows a more magenta color rendering, which objectively must be corrected to have a more attractive color (but it must be said that the color parameters of the D200 are still unattainable today and we have not yet understood if it is thanks to the CCD or the firmware); on the other hand, the S5 recovers the highlights very well, and on this it has a step further than the D200. At high iso, always compared to the D200, the S5 has a 'more digital' rendering with the presence of artifacts where the D200, on the other hand, has a noise effect very similar to the grain of an analog film, but, used on black and white from 200 to 3200 iso (excellent yield at high iso) the S5 with the appropriate calibrations (film std simulation, dynamic range 400%, hard tone, std engraving) produces jpg already finished and very beautiful, which do not need any pp. And then: what is the purpose of using today machines 15 years old and moreover with few mpix and a remarkable noise? It's counterintuitive but... the S5 and D200 have peculiar characteristics that make them indispensable tools like an excellent vintage lens. As I have already written: put together they constitute a winning combination for portraits: the S5 that works fixed in B / W without paying any attention to sensitivity because even at 3200 iso (fondocorsa) the images are perfect, the D200, instead works fixed on the color always up to 3200 iso (fondocorsa), with a detail: the 'analog' grain of the D200 is far preferable in the B / W at 1250-3200 iso, but it requires a bit of PP to correct the contrasts that are otherwise quite flat, and unless you need special pictorial renderings, this makes you prefer the S5 that produces ready-made and beautiful files. Unfortunately the S5 is a 'slow' machine, made three-four shots in raw, the loading of the buffer slows down its use, so it is more suitable for reasoned shots, in essence it is not a camera for sports use (something in which the D200 excelled -at least for its period-). The images: to believe that a 2022 camera takes better photos than one of 2005-2006 is wrong, each camera has its own character, which must be known and chosen as you would choose a genre of film to achieve a certain yield. For this reason, thanks to the very particular and -perhaps- today inimitable rendering, the S5 (as well as the D200) must be evaluated, used and appreciated for the undoubtedly very original character of its images.

Pros: CCD sensor, spectacular complexion, very natural colors, delicate tonal passages, excellent dynamic range

Cons: High ISO, menu can be improved, display.

Opinion: Bought, sold and then repurchased again. Those who try this sensor are unlikely to give up because the performance in portraits is something different from modern CMOS but also from past CCDs. Although I have the habit of shooting in raw, the S5 churn out the already ready and very workable JPEG, visually better than the raw with a "flat" setting. There is a program that manages the S and R pixels separately for an even more accurate file management making editing even more enjoyable. In the flaws I can not list the slowness of operations in all its forms, because those who buy a reflex like that does not do it to photograph sport, its field is the portraiture and it is there that makes the difference. For me a full 9

Pros: magnificent photos. Recover colors in a surprising way. Professional body (but not tropicalized)

Cons: no burst, you can see noise already at 800 ISO. The original software is obsolete for new PCs, and there are additional files for Lightroom and Photoshop that can interpret RAW files only with difficulty.

Opinion: I state that I do not consider a limit that the s5Pro face photo "targati" 12 Mpixels (in fact 6 MegaPixel "pumped"). RnFor me the 3MPixel photos that you download Win10 at startup are already so beautiful, and among other things I look at an exceptional 6Mpixel screen (xps13) !! rn____rnHe made night photos from tripod and I recovered stars and magnificent colors. rnConfrontata with d500 (photo at home, 200 iso) using a Nikkor 18-200 (optics not optimal) is still a little less clear in detail. rnThe dynamic range of the S5Pro is better than the d500 for me. For a close-up I prefer Fuji, even using a 35mm prime. In this case it is significantly less detailed, but the photo is the most beautiful in the colors.
