Hi, fPrime:

The S5 does a fantastic job in highlight recovery and their smooth roll off but the depth and richness of the colors is also there in spades. It is the combination of these two attributes of the Super CCD that makes the camera special, IMO. Special mention also goes to the excellent AWB which makes life a heck of a lot easier.

Great photos and thread!

Have a good one,

Serge

Hi Serge,

Thanks for chiming in... and with some beautiful example photos to boot!

Yes, I agree that in bright sunlight (like the first example in your post) the S5 Pro holds onto deep, rich colors incredibly well thanks to its SuperCCD sensor. This is where many modern cameras can clip colors even if purposefully set to expose for highlights. The reason for this is that certain color channels (like red in particular) often reach a saturation clipping point well before there's an overall highlight clip.

I meant to ask you earlier, but what are you using these days to do your S5 Pro RAW conversions with?
