Digital Camera Info has done a first impressions review of the newly launched Fuji S5 Pro Digital Camera and like it for its dynamic range, its ISO-3200 setting, its durable body and its AF. However they were not impressed by the slow operation and write speeds, though it offered a low resolution for its price and the menu was clumsy!

The Fuji FinePix S5 Pro as a 12.24 Megapixels resolution. Fuji has incorporated the Super CCD SR double pixel technology - 6.17MP S-pixels and 6.17 MP R-pixels) which guarantees breath-taking results.The Fuji FinePix S5 Pro is housed in a durable magnesium alloy body frame and is equipped with a 2.5 inch LCD. The DSLR also has the current favorite Face Detection technology which is able to detect faces in a crowd and then focuses accordingly for the best possible results.

In the end they write "The Fujifilm FinePix S5 Pro depends on its image quality – if it's not great, the camera doesn't compete. That makes it difficult to reach a solid conclusion in a first impression because we can only guess about image quality. Our educated guess is that the quality will be strong enough to make the camera competitive, but that's based on Fujifilm's history, not on anything we experienced while handling the camera."
