Great review, at its original price the S5 Pro would not have been all that great value, but it is a niche camera at best. I own one and it forms the perfect complement to my D300, both capable of decent 1600 ISO and acceptable 3200 ISO. The colour and dynamic range on this camera is sensational, it is my camera of choice when I shoot portraiture. However, the menu system is clunkier than that of my D300 but usable, I find the batteries the biggest pain though (look like a EN-EL3e, charges on the EN-EL3e charger but not interchangeable!!)
Amazed that you manage to come to the ill conclusion that the D200 is better than the S5. How wrong could you be. Having owned both for 2 years the S5 is head and shoulders above the D200 and as for image detail suffering that is also complete tosh. In Raw the S5 is as good, and in some cases better, than most 10MP DSLR's. You most definitely cannot compare the S5 with the D40x or the Sony A100. When you say "Sony’s Dynamic Range Optimiser produces about the same performance" that has got to be the more ridiculous remark I ever heard.
The S5 can be used for all types of photography from landscape to portrait wedding commercial ....... However it is designed, and is the preferred choice, of a huge amount of wedding and portrait photographers the world over.
I am sorry but this review is inherently floored in so many areas.
Good review. I have a question that you may not be able to ask but you don't know unless you ask right? Anyhow how come Fujifilm don't have lots of DSLR's like Nikon or Sony or Pentax etc...?
