Title: Fujifilm S3 Pro Review by Thom Hogan
Pros: State-of-the-art image quality, , .Dynamic range extension works, though perhaps not as much as you thought from Fujifilm's claims. The positives of the S2 Pro's image quality all remain (low noise, saturated though exaggerated color, and better than 6mp
Cons: Still on the high-priced side, . Compared to a US$1495 Canon 20D, the Fujifilm S3 Pro under performs in the shutter, autofocus, viewfinder, write speed, and a few other critical areas. But now that the street price is under US$1995, the S3 is at least get
Summary: Disclosure (well, okay, technically a non-disclosure): Unlike the S2 Pro, my S3 Pro body was purchased through B&H Photo with my own dollars and Ihave no financial or other interest at the present time with Fujifilm USA. Indeed, I've had no contact with t

Title: Fuji FinePix S3 Pro
Pros: The S3 Pro replaces the multi-award winning S2 Pro, a better body shape the improved handling, a built-in vertical grip and single battery use are all improvements as is the new sensor Super CCD SR II sensor.
Cons: Slower than I expected in use, the AF "hunts" on some subjects and batteries still don't last long enough and the best of the improved dynamic range only comes to the for using the CCD RAW format.
Verdict: Fuji's long awaited S3 Pro is a superb piece of kit, ideal for the social photographer however it's a bit pricey given the latest kit on the market.

Title: FinePix S3 Pro
Pros: Mid-range Nikon-compatible digital SLR camera with innovative and very effective sensor that captures wide tonal range of highlights and shadows.
Cons: Relatively expensive. Won't capture 12million real image pixels. Fairly slow frame-rate and card-writing when shooting wide range.
Verdict: While other camera makers concentrate on resolution, Fuji is to be commended for improving the tonal and colour characteristics of the FinePix S3 Pro. This really does pay off in real-world conditions outside the studio. However, it's almost twice as expe
Summary: Fuji's FinePix Pro series of digital SLRs has always trodden an independent path, but the new S3 Pro camera is the most radical yet. Its standout feature is the ability to capture an extended dynamic range compared to normal digital SLRs.

Title: Fujifilm FinePix S3 Pro
Pros: The widest dynamic range we've seen in a dSLR; top-notch overall out-of-camera image quality; histograms for both luminosity and individual color channels; D-TTL flash exposure control and PC terminal.
Cons: Skimpy buffer when using wide dynamic range mode; ISO setting clumsily located on main mode dial; exposure controls operate only in half-stop increments; somewhat heavy-handed noise reduction in ISO 1,600 JPEGs.
Verdict: This medium-resolution Fujifilm stands out for its unmatched handling of highlights and excellent overall image quality, but it's not meant for rapid-fire shooting of sports and action.
