Re: I Regret Getting Rid of My Fuji...

I agree this camera is great in spite of it's age. The quality especially out of raws is excellent and the sooc jpegs are perfect. Pixel peepers won't be too impressed, bad for them. I disagree that it's too old and only sold for parts. I got mine in pretty good condition and it's been working flawlessly for almost 2 years even when I used it in extreme conditions. It's built like a tank and I only fear about Fuji electronics failing one day. There is always a bunch of them for sale and I can get another whenever I want but it's too big and heavy, one is enough for now. As a sidenote I've bought an Oly e-pl3 recently and I was shocked how good it is, it's a sort of miniature S5 without the DR and tonality, e-pl3 looks more digital but the colors and overall picture is very close. I must check more older cameras, there might be more surprises.
