12.3 megapixel' sensor, superior image quality

An already expensive camera, the S3 Pro requires equally expensive accessories to reach its full potential

Good dynamic range ; Smooth images ; Extremely well built

Confusing layout ; Takes AA batteries ; Very expensive

Smooth and silky images, but the FinePix S3 is expensive and a bit unwieldy for most people's tastes

Accepts Nikon lenses ; Unique wide dynamic range feature

Pricier than competitive models

This massive SLR offers very high resolution and accepts Nikon lenses, and it can be controlled via FireWire or USB 2.0.

Excellent picture quality. Wide dynamic range. Lots of control over settings.

Slow burst mode. Menus and displays on LCD are a little confusing. Very expensive.

The S3 Pro replaces the multi-award winning S2 Pro, a better body shape the improved handling, a built-in vertical grip and single battery use are all improvements as is the new sensor Super CCD SR II sensor.

Slower than I expected in use, the AF ‘hunts’ on some subjects and batteries still don’t last long enough and the best of the improved dynamic range only comes to the for using the CCD RAW format.

I've been in the fortunate position to have reviewed the S1 Pro, then this Digital-SLR's (D-SLR) predecessor, the S2 Pro (twice in fact, as I compared it to its peers (which it beat) a year later) and I then wrote the First Look article on the new, S3...
