Pre-PMA
2004: Fujifilm has today announced the development of the all new
SuperCCD SR based FinePix S3 Pro. The S3 Pro appears to be still based
on the N80 (F80) body but is now much rounder and compact in appearance
as well as including a vertical hand grip. The S3 Pro has a 6mp + 6mp
SuperCCD SR sensor with the same output image sizes as the S2 Pro (12
megapixel maximum) but (as we hope) with higher dynamic range as each
pixel location has two photodiodes, one which has normal sensitivity and
one with lower sensitivity for capturing the highlight detail. Ever since
Fujifilm announced the SuperCCD SR design we've been waiting for the moment
they'd introduce it into a digital SLR, well here it is. At this stage
there are no detailed specifications available, although we have produced
a 'what we know so far' list. UPDATED: Official
S3 Pro Brochure added.
