Default new to Fuji's S5 Pro...

Hi Guys,

I am part of the Fuji or F.U.N group now, although I am still holding a Nikon D300
Look forward to meet you guys and learn more about the S5 Pro.

Cheers,

Yes, the color and the DR are amazing! It's one of a kind, besides the speed...

Most F.U.N. members are "uncles", so speed is not an issue to us.

There is no hurry.

Having used both S2 Pro and S3 Pro, the S5 Pro is a milestone from its predecessors in term of speed.

I see. I guess the market value speed more than any other...
But I have to say, the S5 Pro complements well with my D300. I have the best of both world. Previously, I was holding a D80, which I find that it is pointless....

I am amazed by the DR of the JPEG it creates. I would say it looks better than the D300 which has a newer technology than S5 Pro. The color from S5 Pro simply POPs.

Just took it out for lunch time

Got mine too last week, still exploring the cam. Since I'm from KL, can I just be the 'phantom' member of the F.U.N group ka??

step 3: Join F.U.N outings many many times.
