Want to try an S5 pro

mrhobbit · 27th December 2008

Greetings all.

I have been a Canon shooter for a few years, previously shot with a Fuji S5000 as my training camera.(learnt the basics with it)

Now i want to get an S5 pro after seeing the photos, but I dont know anyone that has one, neither can I find a rental house that will rent it out(if anyone does know, do PM me!)

So I am asking here, anyone here can let me shoot a few photos with it? Probably on a weekend, will be around 2 hrs at max.

I know its asking quite alot but i will try my luck, really need to be comfortable with the camera before i make a commitment.

I have access to F mount lenses so I will only need the body

Thanks.

P.S, Perhaps at the next F.U.N meeting? Dont mind joining the shoot

TIA

You are welcome to join us during our next F.U.N outing. Bring along your Canon and we can do a side-by-side comparison of both cameras' features and image quality.

For your information, my I use a Canon EOS 1Ds MK III at work, and my brother-in-law has a Canon 40D. In terms of colors and dynamic range, the S5 Pro is still untouchable.

I do have access to a 1Ds Mk3(and more recently a 5D2)

DR and colors rendition wise, from what I can see from those photos posted on the forum and from my own photos, I would say the fuji still beats them all.

The 5D2 somehow just cant seem to get the blues just right for my tastes.

1Ds Mk3.... well I kind of thought Digic3 is a disaster

thats why i want to try fuji again!

Hi Photobum, i would like to join the next F.U.N outing as well. However I do not see any thread in Fujifilm section about it.
When will it be and do you have the details?

I wish to bring along a D700 and compare it with the S5pro. Will you be able to help me arrange?

Many thanks in advance.
