FujiFilm S5: First Thoughts

I borrowed a Fuji S5 for the weekend.  I must say, this thing is impressive.  The first test was portraiture in available light at ISO 3200.  This would make my me cringe on anything else, however, they looked good acceptable.  I am also becoming a fan of the dynamic range improvements that have been made with the S5.  My largest initial gripe with Fuji is the deceptive advertising surrounding the Megapixelage of the the camera.  They claim it is 12 megapixels while the actual resolution comes out to about 6.2 megapixels.  I honestly couldn’t care less about megapixels and all, I seem to rarely print these days, and when I do it is rarely ever larger than 11×14 which I can easily do with 6 megapixels.  More to come.
