You can't get much more than $400 for an S5 Pro so selling it does not make sense. The images created by the S5 are in a league of their own and worth far more than the money you can get from a sale. As long as you dont need to print very large, the S5 Pro's colors and dynamic range easily beat today's current Fuji's as well as other brands.

Of the seemingly endless number of your posts I have read today I wholeheartedly agree with every word you have said in this one.

...since they are the "creators" of this unique skin tone machine as well as the other S models, why is it that they are not implementing that same unique "fuji" skin tone look in all these newer cameras?

I mean, what is it exactly that makes this skin pop like this?  It is a COMPLETE mystery.  Some say it is software in the camera that does it, some say is the CCD sensor itself, some say is the type of filter that is in it.  Whatever it is, i am not sure why Fuji has not make their newer cameras with that same output for people portraits.  If they did, i think they would rule the world and i am pretty sure i would buy more of their cameras
