It was a great camera in its time. I had it and loved it.

But techology has since moved on. My current X-H1 runs rings around it, in ALL respects.

The S5 Pro 🦖 still runs rings around the XH1 when it comes down to skin tones 😁

I have so much better F mount glass now than when I had the S5 Pro I wish I never sold it.

To me, it is an eternal mystery why Fuji did not follow up with a full frame S6. I waited for years for that to happen before I finally purchased a Nikon (D3s) for a full frame sensor. Gave away the S3. A 12 MP full frame Fuji would have been a contender to Canon and Nikon. It was the dual photo diode pixels that enabled the wider dynamic range to each color channel and the resulting perfect deep colors.

A 16MP FF would have DESTROYED the competition and I’m pretty darn sure I would still be using such camera today.
