A S5pro sample

Go to last post
ISO100? Wouldn't you expect it to look at this (as with any current DSLR to be honest)?

This pic does not look extrapolated: it is sharp, with no visible artefacts.

It seems to me that the S5's extrapolation algorithms might well be smarter than the S3's.

A good test would be to take a 13MP image of a fine and repetitive pattern at 45 degrees from horizontal ;-)

Congratulations on ourchasing your S5. As expected, the coulours are indeed beautiful, but I'm a bit dissapointed by the sharpness of the parts of the image that are in focus. I wonder if this is the IQ of the sensor or maybe a result of an average lens.
What lens did you use?

Now we have some hope...

This looks very good.

Thanks for posting

D200 / S2

I do know how to spell. I'm just a lousy Tipyst!

This really does look promising, much more so with a bit of tweaking to make it really pop. Try this...

Levels: RGB: 0 / 107 / 243

Saturation: +8

Unsharp mask: 100 / 0.5 / 0 (okay, this brings out the jaggies a bit, but only when viewed above 66% - partly because it's already been sharpened once).

The results are very impressive.
 
This is the most impressive shot I've seen so far from the S5. It does look very clean and photographic, and I can only imagine it would be even better if shot with sharpening off and USM done in pp. Sure it's not a high ISO image, but it is a good image with a good, film-like look to it. In my opinion, some of what we consider sharpness in other makes of cameras comes at the expense of a digital look. Such shots are impressive, but I find similar Fuji shots to be more beautiful/pleasing in a photographic sense that I cannot always put my finger on. This image has that quality.

Try to print it in a large size and you'll understand how good the file is.

What's incredible is the quality of tonal transitions and the lack of noise in the shadows.

This is a 100% crop from the image Wu Shung Yan posted, on the right I brightened the shadows:

I do a lot of PS and this is the camera I need.
Wu Shung Yan: I hope you agree I used your picture, if not I'll take it out.

First: It is as sharp as the Fuji CCD can get, well exposed, a very well exposed image.

However in the texture of the surface it becomes clear that it is still not 12 true MP, but interpolated from 6. BTW, with large subjects as this here digital cameras work generally better than with ultra fine detail like in landscapes. Take a Landscape shot with any digital camera, and the distant trees will reveal what the sensor really resolves and how it handles the detail it cannot really resolve... Both 6 and 12MP is not that much after all...

It is remarkable to me that you were able to brighten shadows and reveal veins in the lettuce. The colors still look reasonably good in those areas, too. Thanks for showing us this.

S5 will be very special as I hoped... This sensor DOES resolve more detail than a normal 6 Mp camera.

Yes, its a promising image.

I don't know if this means a thing but Irfanview counts +377000 different colors in this pic - In S2 I could only get near using raw and 16bit tiff output... thats a ton of subtle tone gradients.

Btw, for 12mp it looks sharp! even knowing that perceptive sharpness is increased due to magnification (macro)

Paulo Abreu,

Perhaps it is just the limits of my 15" monitor but I really do not see any sharpness issues with the photo. The details in the onions and the colors on the shrimp are great. I see an amazing amount of texture on the surface of the platter. Now the nearest edge of the platter is soft and the back part of the image is soft but I view these as depth of field limitation. I certainly do not see any softness in the limited focal plane through the center of the subject of the photo.

Thanks for sharing this appetizing subject.
