Hello, I have one too. In Japan, this camera was used in photo studios. It is also famous for portraits of female subjects and as a camera that faithfully reflects the skin color of babies.

[@be2the4out]

yes, but with what lens? for the babyskin? tnx

[@digtalfear1177]

Fantastic photos, this is such an amazing camera. Picked one up in 2020 and I just fell in love with it's results. Not my everyday camera, but never fails to impress especially with it's insane dynamic range!

[@kermitage]

RAW files from the S5 Pro are excellent and retain their full 12MP resolution - as long as they are developed with Fujifilm's ancient RAW development software: Hyper Utility 3. By the way, SOOC jpgs are fully usable and suficient in most cases, like with all Fujifilm cameras. Nice video!

[@ricblessing3400]

Any chance you have a download link to that ancient software? Everywhere I’ve looked is broken. Not even sure which modern OSs it runs on.

[@photobyTaps]

Excellent. I still love my S5

Hello from France ! I really like these old dslr, I've rediscovered my brother's 350d in my garage and i have ditched my modern fuji to stick with the old canon. I like to see your pictures, been two times in Finland and I really loved it :)

[@too_many_cameras]

Great to hear!

[@funlols_com]

This camera is magic in the way it renders Photos. Skin tone, High Dynamic Range. Portraits. I snagged one for a good price £260 looks like new its amazing only 18200 shutters :) There hard to get In good condition and at a good price. Collectors piece really.

[@fujiuser1968]

I love my S5 :-)

[@phongnapatsukwat4683]

I just got my hands on S3 Pro and I love it even more than my 5D classic!

[@too_many_cameras]

Glad to hear that. What is your workflow for the raw files?

[@phongnapatsukwat4683]

@@too_many_cameras I typically using Lightroom as my primary workflow but I found it a bit awkward with this super ccd sensor (like enhance super-resolution)and I never good at Capture One so I'm sticking with Lightroom lol. But I'll try something else in the future what might suite me best .

[@too_many_cameras]

I'm gonna stick to LR myself too i think. Capture One can't use the R-pixels at all and results to 6mp photos

[@phongnapatsukwat4683]

@@too_many_cameras Have you ever try using Hyper Utility?

[@too_many_cameras]

@@phongnapatsukwat4683 I have but it's so slow. I don't really know if it has any advantages really over say Lightroom

[@ksjung88]

s5PRO +35.8g ..This is exactly what I have now. But your pictures are much better than mine. =)

[@jd5787]

HI. Great camera. Is a 35mm DX really a 50mm equivalent or is it 35mm equivalent for FX?

[@too_many_cameras]

Well... both. But being a lens made for a smaller APS-C image circle you can't really use it on a full frame camera. Although i've heard this one covers the full frame sensor quite well.

[@roybixby6135]

A 35mm lens is always a 35mm lens but the field of view on a crop sensor is nearly equal to a 50mm on full frame - all else its still 35mm 🦘

[@roybixby6135]

A 35mm is always a 35mm but on a crop camera it will have the field of view similar to a 50mm on a full frame ...

[@snooper71]

Is the shoe mount made for fuji flashes or Nikon flashes?

[@too_many_cameras]

I would guess Nikon flashes

[@user-gx7nd6cr1x]

Can you share some raw files?

[@RedHell2884]

is it crop sensor or full frame, can I use all nikon lenses with it? can I deal with it as a nikon camera?

[@too_many_cameras]

It's an aps-c camera so crop sensor. All the Nikon lenses work with it. It's like a Nikon D200 with Fuji insides

[@Narsuitus]

I own and use six Nikkor zoom lenses on my Nikon F film cameras. I use all my Nikkor zoom lenses on my Fuji S5 Pro APS-C digital SLR bodies. The Nikkor zoom lenses I use most often on my S5 are: 14-24mm f/2.8 28-70mm f/2.8 80-200mm f/2.8

[@Narsuitus]

I own and use about two-dozen Nikkor prime lenses on my Nikon F film cameras. I can use all my Nikkor prime lenses on my Fuji S5 Pro APS-C digital SLR bodies. The Nikkor prime lenses I use most often on my S5 are: 14mm f/2.8 24mm f/2 35mm f/1.4 55mm f/3.5 macro 105mm f/2.8 macro 400mm f/5.6 500mm f/4 1000mm f/11 mirror

[@howardzampara]

Very nice pictures, bad music :)

[@thetruth9116]

Does this camera record videos?

[@too_many_cameras]

No video recording at all

[@2003merc1]

Great pictures but awful music

[@artemalekseev3926]

I own this camera for years and I still do not see a single reason why should I buy another one. There are several tips that will make better photos: - 1-1/2 stop overexposure is generally good idea in this camera - use SilkyPix, LR is not the best software for it, you can not get best ofdynamic range in LR - try old manual lenses

[@too_many_cameras]

Good tips. I have used an old soviet Mir-24N 35mm f/2 on mine. I'll have to give Silkypix another try but i feel like LR does understand the files unlike say Capture One.

[@belladonnajoey]

Kaunis kuvat!!! Hyvä poika 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 i use almost every day this amazing camera, the jpeg are amazing but you have to set the camera on the right way... I suggest with jpeg 6mpx size M and raw size L

[@roybixby6135]

I've kept a S5 Pro for the skintones - I wonder if the Nikon D200 that is based on was as good ... 🦘

[@too_many_cameras]

People do seem to like the D200 a lot

[@illegalmindset4122]

I've got 5 d200s 3 nib will never not have one lol I would like to try the S5 against it though

[@funlols_com]

Ive own both, Firstly, I owned the Fuji S5 Pro : A Brilliant Camera for that film look and great Dynamic range & Skintone's .I used it a lot in b&w its an amazing camera. Nikon D200: I purchased on a whim on eBay I was actually expecting this camera to be worse than the Fuji S5 But its Amazing , The photos out of this camera are colourful and they pop. I loved them both and wish I had kept them both :(

[@athmaid]

@@funlols_com D200s can be had for cheap nowadays, S5 Pro is still (or maybe again?) somewhat expensive
