New Fuji S5 Yields good images
« on: March 28, 2007, 07:13:14 pm »

I rarely post on the site.  I usually read and soak up the vast knowledge available here.  Today I can't help myself.  I bought a Fuji S5 yesterday and used it on a location portrait shoot today and I am entirely smitten by the quality of the Jpeg files.  I used one of the film settings Fa and found my portraits to be much better than anything I've seen from my D2x.  They required no intervention before uploading a web gallery.  The LCD monitor is also superior to the D2x.  It's a "WYSIWYG" thing for sure.  No problem with the buffer (I was shooting Jpeg Medium (2000x3000) fine).

I am using the Nikon MB-200 battery grip with two Fuji Batteries.  Tonight I am supposed to shoot a stage show for a local theater and I'm looking forward to testing the ISO 1600 and 3200 settings.

Really a nice camera for someone who spends most of their day shooting people.

Thanks, Kirk Tuck

I wholeheartedly concur. The images from an outdoor location shoot (in bright sunlight, with shadows all over the place) were far better than those my D200 produced. I used the film setting F1b, which works great for outdoor portraits. The extended dynamic range is very evident in such situations. I shot RAW + JPEG (fine) and haven't even looked at the RAW files yet, as I was able to take the JPEG's and print them without ANY modifications.
