Home > Consumer Reviews > Fujifilm S3 Pro Digital SLR Camera Body Only (12MP) 2 inch LCD

Having been disappointed with the "Digital"look and clipped highlights with both the EOS 10D and Nikon D70 i had owned and basically having gone back to film i kept noticing good reviews for this camera.I always take magazine reviews with a pinch of salt they are so subjective.Being a Nikon film user and having some decent lenses i decided to take a chance. The F90 is now i am sorry to say gathering dust! This really does do thejob. The images iam getting are the best i have ever achieved with a digital camera, full of tones and great colours. Not for sport or action but the idealtool for everything else!

The S3Pro is one of the nicest digital SLRs I have had the pleasure to use. Easy operation, fantastic imaging at 12m pixels and a breeze to get images to PC with bundled software. More photography less time messing with image transfer.

I could not wait to take a look at the when it first came out in 2004, but I could not justify the £1800 price tag with being a now and then amateur photograph, so I decided to stay with my Nikon F80 and continue to use Fuji Velvia and Reala film. Now the prices have been reduced substantially, I snapped one up straight away and have not looked back since. The photographs it takes are tonally as good as my F80/Reala combination and the colour saturation I believe is second to none. It also has the added advantage of having two custom modes that give similar effects to both Fuji film combinations that I had been use to.

Finally, if you are an F80 user and want to go digital or you are a Nikon film user and want to make the best use of your lenses, there is no better camera at this price.
