The FinePix S3 Pro is the culmination of Fujifilm's professional photography heritage and imaging know-how. The FinePix S3 Pro sets itself apart from its competitors by using Fujifilm's proprietary Super CCD SR II sensor – a new and advanced image processor – and a number of professional controls developed exclusively for this camera. The combination of Nikon lens mount and Fujifilm image capture is one that has been highly regarded by photographers for years.

Whether film or digital, a wider dynamic range is critical to image quality. The unique double photodiode structure (6.17 million S-pixels and 6.17 million R-pixels) of the Super CCD SR II sensor will produce dynamic range approximately 400% greater than that of a CCD working on a single-pixel design, capturing the finest detail even in high contrast scenes

Adjustable Dynamic Range: breaking free of confinement, photographers now have the option of adjusting the camera's dynamic range, changing the mixing ratio between the FinePix S3 Pro's 'S-' and 'R-pixels'.

A feature unique to the FinePix S3 Pro and developed thanks to Fujifilm's history and expertise in film. Photographers who prefer the look and 'feel' of traditional film can replicate the results of various reversal and negative films, while shooting digitally with the FinePix S3 Pro.

FILM SIMULATION F1: Delivers wide latitude images with a softer feel, suitable for studio/portrait photography, similar to Fujifilm Professional colour negative film.

FILM SIMULATION F2: Delivers highly saturated, high contrast images, similar to Fujichrome Professional colour reversal film.

The FinePix S3 Pro will offer a choice of sRGB and Adobe RGB to generate the colour best suited to the photographic task in hand.

Sometimes, a smaller RAW file is needed for quicker operation. With the FinePix S3 Pro, the user will be able to 'deactivate' the extra, expanded dynamic range data without losing image resolution.

Lightning-fast start-up: the FinePix S3 Pro is ready in the blink of an eye, going from 'off' to 'ready-to-shoot' in half a second – with any compatible media type.
