File size doesn't mean much - some cameras used an uncompressed raw format, and some use a compressed raw format. You can find cameras from the same manufacturer where their 5 megapixel camera produces uncompressed raw files the exact same file size as their 10 megapixel camera that compresses them!

I am looking to pick up an S5, if I can find it for a price I like or find one I can repair you can bet they'll be a video! Haha that's good I do have a couple more D200 videos ideas I am planning on!

@@Mr50mmish cant wait! if i find one for a decent price ill buy it myself.

Used Photo Pro in Indiana has a bunch of S5 Pro this week 1 July. Not sure if that's the price range US$190-$260, not inc custom and tariffs. I find SilkyPix difficult mainly because the controls are really small on my screen and there's no adjustment possible.

@@DixonLu oh that's not bad! I'll have to check it out. Haha kind of blew through my camera budget recently though so we'll see if I can get one!

I am using the current Fujifilm software Raw File convertor EX 3.0 powered by Silkypix. The highlight recovery is very excellent. Your right the camera is able to pull some excellent colors when you work with the software. But I do find the interpolated image while it's not bad, when you put it beside the D200's 10mp images it just doesn't stack up as well.

Thanks for the sub! That is awesome, I hope you like the D200 as much as I do!

Thanks, yeah I kind of debated bring up the sub display and soft buttons, as they are an excellent way to work around the film body. Haha but I was trying to keep the video time to under 30 minutes!

If I get this right, I could use my Nikkor FX glass on these Fuji S3 / S5?

@@chawenhalo0089 yup. No issue mounting the lenses.

I would imagine it's just interpolation unless there is an AI upscale option in menu. I don't really consider them in the reviews as it then becomes less a look at the cameras. When it comes to processing it's just my preference to use the editor I use since I tend to shoot with almost all brands. The S3's ergonomics are similar but it's ergonomic issues don't necessarily come from the film body basis as much as it's from the janky integration of the digital bits to the film bits. With the D100 it's pretty seemless other than the full size mirror box.

I can confirm the images are correctly labelled, it might be more a color rendering thing than DR. Neither image histogram is significantly different. However, for these images I didn't really do much to the output other than match the exposure at time of photo or match color temp in order to remove any editing bias (any other edits I did were copied onto the other respective RAWs). I can also confirm when I tweak the S3 raw file I can make it look like the D200 on the right but that's not how it came out with all settings matched. I do think the S3 photo generally appears a bit more flat when you don't tweak stuff and it's DR preservation settings are active (I did have the DR setting to maximum for these comparisons to fully utilize those secondary pixels). However that brought me to the other point that utilizing the wide DR capture effectively does require more work on the editing side to help the final image come out! If I were just editing the photos for my preferences I would have probably done more to both RAWs, but in this case I wanted a more direct comparison!

@@Mr50mmish Appreciate the quick response. This is by far the best comparison video of D200 with any camera. Keep up the good work. All the best. Cheers.

That is about the experience I'm getting with the S3 pro.

That's awesome to hear!

Technologically yes they are a better comparison but as far as price point the S3 is currently closer to the value of the D200 than the S5. If I get an S5 I will probably compare it but sensor wise the S3 is the same as the S5 so at the least the image comparisons will be valid for both cams.

@@Mr50mmish S5 Pro used to have around the same value as D200 just a few years ago and most camera thrift shop I know usually dissuade me from getting S5 Pro over D200 because S5 pro is a worse camera overall compared to D200. It's cheap because almost no one want it as it has been released in Photokina 2006 and even in 2010 there are still new unopened S5 Pro on new camera shops because no one want to buy them when there're much better cameras out there like Canon 40D/50D or Nikon D300. S5 Pro in 2007 is already a really out of date camera and it's still a hard sell on used market many years later, because why someone want to buy a 12MP camera by interpolation that only has 6MP true resolution with only 1.5 fps burst rate, everything else seems superior to it by that time. However they're sell in around the same price as D200 on used market in the past 10 years or so at least in where I live, I got one myself for around $160-180 in 2012. However, to my surprise, the current price for S5 Pro on eBay right now is ridiculously expensive for some reason, almost on par with the like of Canon 1Ds Mark II, or Nikon D3.

Haha your welcome :) these old cameras are pretty fun!

True. But the I'm personally not one to add more bulk if not required, I'm pretty comfortable just turning the camera. The lithium batteries on the d200 also lasts much longer than the AA set up on the S3.

@@Mr50mmish Gracias por responder mi mensaje. Saludos desde Rancagua, Chile.

Thanks for the comment! And greetings back from Halifax in Canada!

Haha what do you specifically mean? That's fine that you like the camera, but I don't think my points are invalid.

Your opinion is invalid. Do not know what you’re talking about….!!!👎🏾👎🏾👎🏾 Fuji S3 pro is the winner🎉

@@robertbland5131 you're entitled to your own opinion. Doesn't mean mine is invalid.
