Fujifilm announced today an update to the FinePix S3 Pro, the S5 Pro. This model uses the same 12.3MP Super CCD SR Pro sensor and adds the new Real Photo Processor Pro.
The true benefits remain to be seen, but Fuji claims the S5 can produce far more realistic images. The S5 also touts an updated auto-focus, i-TTL flash, battery life and ISO 3200. It will be available next February.
Fujifilm FinePix S5 Pro [DP Review]
All of this sounds so wonderful but I have an issue with the S2 that I hope has been improved. SHARPNESS. My wife uses a Fujipix S7000 and it is 10 times sharper that my S2. Lets work on this probem.

The Fujifilm FinePix S5 Pro is a 6-megapixels digital SLR camera but delivers 12-megapixels images. This is due to each photosite’s dual sensors which consists of two diodes where each has its own purpose – one is for general exposure and the other is for highlight. This is the reason why S5 Pro has very excellent dynamic range. It is considered to perform well in portraits because it has excellent tonal rendition or skin-toned reproduction. While it is curiously similar in build to Nikon D200, the internal compositions or mechanisms are not the same. It utilizes a SuperCCD SR Pro imaging chip that is regarded to deliver improvements in noise, dynamic range, and skin color over its predecessor, the S3 Pro.
