FujiS5pro & D80

[WeiKhuen]

me has s5pro and d80. me compare the performance of these two camera. s5 definitely has better dynamic range than d80. the link to the photos is

d80 image



FujiS5pro image



d80 image was taken first, then follow by fujiS5. Both cameras using the same shutter speed 1/200, apertude f8, iso100.

happy viewing :")

From yr photos, S5Pro grass is more natural looking while D80 makes the grass too green, and S5Pro sky shows more details than the D80. Your photos do show that S5pro is better in dynamic range.

The highlight details in the clouds are better retained in the S5pro..........also shadow detail seems slightly better..........

I hate the green color of grass green from the D80. Reminds me of Kickapoo drink.

[tanjonhan]

well, i would agree that S5 has better range, but we should not forget that the D80 is known to over-exposed by default, so maybe that partly explains the washed out skies..

[ngebor]

the DR superiority is as expected.. but is there any gain on D80 in term of sharpness and detail, having bigger effective resolution? Thanks for sharing!

[WeiKhuen]

The dynamic range of the s5 is really good.



I have not done test on resoln. Me will do it after get hold of the hs-v3 sw.

Nice Pic !

Fuji colours have no match so far on the market. Nikon ones are really synthetic.

the EXIF show thats
D80 } low saturation
S5 Pro } high saturation

does this make any differences?

me took raw and then converted the pics to tiff. D80 image me use capture nx. the tone is set to low contrast and the color is to enhance. FujiS5 image me use finepix studio. the tone is org and the color is set to high. Both images are in adobeRGB colorspace. no further adjustment was done to these pics.

My main aim is to show the dynamic range between these two cameras.

The Super CCD is well and long known to be better......, 24bit/channel leh.

By the way, the S5 Pro is in higer league than D80 lah.

[DeadEnd]

Both using auto WB?

Have u tried using custom curve on the D80 to compare with S5 Pro?

Yes, both using auto WB.

I have not tried using custom curve. Me want to keep the settings simple.

maybe D200 vs S5 Pro

dat would be a closer comparison... however, IMO, the comparison is pretty meaningless (save for those techies among us!). s5pro is a 'specialised' camera, if u happened to read KRW's 'review'. d200, on the other hand, IMO is a jack-of-all-trades camera.

we all know the excellent DR of fuji's DSLR. however, for those familar with nikon DSLRs, working with the NEF files in NC, u can (more or less) achieve the same results. it's just dat fuji helped us by removing a big chunk of PSing.

Anyone compared a Kodak DCS14n with the S5pro???

Choosing between the 2

Obviously ............... maybe TS wants us to believe S5 is better ...............

The DCS14n is a much older camera. In one of an older reviews I read, it was compared to the S2 Pro. The latter has much better color. The Kodak is a bit faster though.

D80 image is over exposed.

Set the D80 to EV -0.7 to -1.0 and you should get the sky detail.

Hi nightwolf75, DR cannot be replaced by PP....if you think by doing PP, you can get the same pic, then you may have mistaken PP and DR. Only in scene when the DR is not that wide can you get the same results with PP. If the scene DR is really wide, a sensor with narrower DR cannot capture all the data available, while a sensor with wider DR can. So if the data is not in the data file right in the beginning, no PP can bring the data in....this is the same mistake many ppl think they can do HDR with a single RAW file by saving into diff exposures (they can just use Dodge/Burn or shadow/highligh to achieve the "HDR" they tot they have achieved). They have forgotten that the RAW data file only captured 12bit of data while it takes about 16bit to qualify as HDR image.
