Full Specifications, Availability and Pricing Also Determined
Valhalla, NY, December 6, 2006 - FUJIFILM
U.S.A., Inc. today announced the full specifications, availability and
retail price for the highly anticipated FinePix S5 Pro. Announced in
development at Photokina 2006, the FinePix S5 Pro is scheduled for
nationwide market availability February 2007 at a price of $1,999.
Confirming Fujifilm's commitment to professional photographers, the
FinePix S5 Pro carries a number of features that appeal to wedding,
portrait and studio photographers. One is an expanded dynamic range
from the double pixel technology (6.17 million S-pixels and 6.17
million R-pixels) of the camera's Super CCD SR Pro sensor that is
approximately 400% wider than that of a CCD working on a single-pixel
design. In addition, the FinePix S5 Pro goes a step further by coupling
the new Super CCD SR Pro sensor with Fujifilm's new RP Processor Pro
for smoother tonality from brightest light to the darkest shadows. An
ISO equivalent sensitivity of 3200 is also available on the FinePix S5
Pro, thanks to the RP Processor Pro technology.
Additionally, the camera features Fujifilm's Face Detection Technology.
A post-capture function on the FinePix S5 Pro, the technology detects
up to ten faces in a scene at the push of a button. Using the camera's
LCD monitor, FinePix S5 Pro users can zoom in to the faces of subjects,
confirming focus, exposure and whether eyes are open or closed.
Additional highlighted features of the FinePix S5 Pro include:
excellent ergonomics with weatherproof seals, a robust shutter
mechanism tested to exceed 100,000 cycles, and advancements to the Film
Simulation Mode with the addition of three new settings for varying
skin tones.
