I have a D600 which certainly has a higher resolution and less noise at super high ISO values. But getting the same kind of lush colors out of the D600 is hard work, and under some conditions the D600 just misbehaves wildly, whereas the S5 Pro would do it perfectly even in jpeg mode.

I think one of the differences is that the red color channel of the Fuji goes further towards the infrared, whereas Nikon probably doesn't go far enough in that direction. As a result, the colors around sunset are very different between the Fuji and the Nikon. And it takes a lot of post processing of the raw files to get the same kind of warmth from Nikon that the Fuji is capable of doing even in jpeg mode.

The thing that made me switch was that the S5 is cropped. A fullframe S5 Pro would have been the ultimate thing.
