Surprised at the reaction

Feb 5, 2004

Wow, I'm really surprised at the reaction a lot of people have aired here about the S3 Pro. Personally I'm glad that Fujifilm resisted the pressure to (a) dumb down and go cheap or (b) go for pixel count or (c) go for full frame (and the problems that come with it).

Personally I'll be VERY interested to see if SuperCCD SR delivers its promise on the S3 Pro and if so it will be a camera for 'those who know'..
