So sad Fuji didn't develop the SuperCCD any further, I do really miss the beautiful colors out of that camera, perfect tool for female portraits.

Agree. The S5 was also unique for its ability to recover highlights for great SOOC results even in contrasty sunlight.

If 400% DR recovery wasn't enough in JPEG then even more could be pulled from RAW.

Lovely, vibrant CCD colors without the limited highlight dynamic range problems of CCD sensors. Brilliant for it's time then, and useful even today.
