In fact, My main camera is a Nikon D7500 and I think it's colors are very good, better then most cameras out there. I tested it side by side with Fuji T1 and found that D7500 gives more pleasant colors most of the times!

BUT. Even a quick comparison shows that S5 Pro is even better. I took 6 different pictures with different lighting conditions.

S5 Pro paired with SB800 as slave gives awesome skin tones(the built in speed light will trigger it), added a SB 600 and there are plenty of options to play with them.

On one of them Nikon D7500 colors were on par with S5 Colors. On 5 pictures out of 6 S5 gave clearly more pleasant colors then D7500. That's a camera made 12 years ago!!! I am shocked.

A While ago i took some portraits to update the CV of my Wife (with three cameras: Sigma SD14, Nikon D7000 and S5 pro). i let her pick her choices  and for my surprise she picked only the Fuji ones.

Of course, only 2FPS, rather primitive AF (which, as I already managed to see makes some mistakes), ISO usable only up to 800, all those signs of age are there. But Color reproduction is fantastic!

Why, why they killed SUPER-CCD development!?

Cos it hits the wall too soon in high ISO performance (noisy / needs more power).
