- Why are the fuji cameras destroying the market, what makes them so good and where did they come from?
The FujiFilm finepix S2 Pro is a super CCD 6MPDSLR camera based on a Nikon N80 fim camera. Its Awesome
dpreview. .com. (/reviews/fujis2pro/3) has a great specs review for you
My 2nd camera after the S1 Pro. Got the S1 Pro in 2000 then picked this up when it came out on a stopover in Kuala Lumpur on my way from London to Sydney to visit my bro.
I'm a Nikon shooter but recently acquired an S5Pro - the Nikon D200's evil twin!!! Love shooting CCD!!!
Yep ! She’s evil for sure lol
I have a Fuji S5 Pro, and it opened a whole new world of great and inexpensive F mount Nikon glass for me. I really do like the colors it puts out. It wont replace my everyday X-T2, but I really do enjoy it.
I get what you mean, we have these things left bodies which spark new creative vibes for sure. I’ll never ditch my Nikon D800 ;-)
I bought a Fujifilm S-3 Pro brand new in 2005 for around $2K. Years ago the viewing screen died but the camera still works but you can only adjust whatever settings are available using the function buttons. I recently picked up a second S-3 Pro on ebay for $100 with a 28mm AF lens. I never owned a S-2 but I didn't like the fact that you needed two different battery types to run the camera. The S-3 Pro only takes 4 AA batteries. Don't know how long they'll last but for the price they sure are great to shoot with. :)
From Columbus Ohio to LosAngles California to a cost of living in the Stratosphere! Best of luck to you in your new home.
Yep. It’s not inexpensive here for sure. But 75 and sunny all year and views to die for
You are certainly correct!@@robbellphoto
Mine went very weird. It had a problem with the CCD or processor and it gradually descended into complete psychedelic glitch madness. I had it repaired by Fuji UK once, just at cost as it was a known issue. The problem came back in a few months. I sold it on eBay (where it came from) and got about the same as I paid for it listed as a "glitch cam" with some really messed up images as examples.
YES ! There were so many with the CCD sensor issue , another reason they lost a bunch of money on the S2. I had the same issue with the sensor in my Minolta DSLR from back then. Lilac / purple streaks on the screen and eventually a dead sensor. The one I have now is tip top although the battery door is a little cracked
I shot with one of those for years. I have not put batteries in it for quite a while, might be worth putting on ebay instead of collecting dust.
PS. I always found that it outshot it's measly 6mp resolution.
Please battery check it and sell it ! Set that puppy free
If it is so good, why fuji stopped it?
GREAT QUESTION ! the DSLR market was so fast back then , the smart media cards sucked and the D100 was getting more love
