hello guys:) currently i own an olympus omd E-m10 with some nice lenses like 12-40 F2.8, 25mm F1.7 , 45mm F1.8 and 75mm F1.8. Olympus was my first dslr type camera and although with smaller sensor i am very happy in terms of quality especially with the nice lens. One guy here in my place he selling his old Fuji S5 pro with a 80-200 F3.5 nikon lens. The price is for both 250 euro and including the grip with the batteries. I make some research and if found that is 10 years old camera. i never had a fuji or nikon or canon or any other " big " dslr. I read that for portraits this camera is great. The price of this camera is very good too as i am thinking to buy it so i can play around with it. My question is it worth to buy such a camera also i can use it in portrait photography too. I am worry about somethings i read like the camera is slow that the camera have 6mp sensor etc. what you think about this?

That's a good price so if you want to buy it and have fun, then go for it. I have an S3 and like it and the S5 is better, built like a Nikon D200.

Thank you very much. do you use it and today? is not a lag camera compare to modern dlsr ? and what about the sharpness what lens you use?

The S5Pro is a pure fun camera, not for speed nor high resolution, but for pure color.

Yes, it has a very strong AA filter and this camera likes really good glass, mainly sharp prime lenses.

Last time I checked there are no more repair parts for this camera.

Thank you i am in between some lenses like tamron 17-50 , sigma 17-70 and sigma 17-50 what you think will work best combine with my s5?:) for portraits and street photography
