ully digital and durable professional metal alloy body. With this superior combination of truly professional handling and image quality, the FinePix S5 Pro will appeal to a broad range of professional photographers looking for something more in their D-SLR. Sensor The ultimate goal in development of Fujifilm's D-SLR cameras has been to maximise image quality through constant R & D into the Company's proprietary sensors. With the introduction six years ago of the acclaimed Super CCD, Fujifilm has moved away from increasing the pixel density in favour of image quality developments that increase the overall performance of the sensor. The FinePix S5 Pro will see the refinement of a winning formula – Fujifilm's Super CCD SR II will be updated to the new Super CCD SR Pro. Using a unique layout of twelve million paired photodiodes (6.17 million larger 'S' photodiodes for main image information, combined with 6.17 million smaller 'R' photodiodes for bright area information), the S5 Pro will deliver improvements in noise, dynamic range, colour and tonality. Further improving the capability of the sensor, a new, improved low-pass filter will ensure that moiré and noise are kept to an absolute minimum. Fuji technicians believe improvements in these key areas will be of more true value to professional photographers – the challenge is quality of information, not quantity of information. Image Quality The redesigned Super CCD SR Pro sensor will be at the centre of the camera's performance. However, the new Real Photo Processor Pro will ensure that the information is handled in such a way to produce images that are beautifully vibrant, with colour recorded as the human eye sees it. The processor's two stages of noise reduction will deliver an impeccably clean image, and also permit light sensitivity up to ISO 3200 whilst achieving sharp, low-noise images.
