I do remember that other guys shooting weddings at the time loved the S5 Pro as it meant that they could capture wedding dresses and dark suits without losing detail on either as a jpeg.

Yes ! Today, you can do that with any APS-C or 24x36 camera on the market, but back in 2006, it was unique.

After 3 years of shooting with Fuji mirrorless cameras, I'm pretty sure I'll never go back to DSLR : every time I take one in my hands, even a small one (like a friend of mine's D3100), I find it chunky. But maybe one day I'll buy a used S5 Pro (they cost almost nothing now).

I don't really get attached to gear, for me it's just working tools. But there are a few cameras which I enjoyed using more than others :

- the Fuji S5 Pro : not for the body itself and the handling, but for the files it produces.

- Fuji X-T1 and X-T2 : the first time I took a X-T1 in my hands to try in a store, it knew I would take it. It just fell perfect for me, like it was built for my hands !
