Having read this thread from top to bottom at least once over the last week or 2 then GAS has kicked in. Just bought one on ebay here in the UK for £140 that is supposed to be in excellent condition, I look forward to it arriving in the next couple of days. TBH, for that price I feel it was worth a punt.

Gas can get you sometimes. I have grown to like the s5 pro very much. The first thing I noticed was the nikon body is great, really solid and the viewfinder is good too. My copy seems brand new. The trouble is I now have too many cameras, always having to decide which ones to use. 1St world problems? Anyway the s5 does best in good light and with top primes. Then it shines, especially at portraits,  but I think it's no slouch at landscapes or street shooting too.

For fun I recently  acquired a couple of s2 pros.  Have yet to try them, but I got them with some lenses for next to nothing,  they are not such nice bodies as the s5 with tiny viewfinders. Reputation has it that the s2 pro has nice Iq. We'll see.

Ultimately I'd like a d850, maybe one day.

Good luck with the s5. Please post photos when you have got some.
