 Featuring
an advanced new, fourth-generation Super CCD SR sensor, the FujiFilm FinePix S3
Pro digital SLR takes digital photography dramatically closer to film quality.
The FinePix S3 Pro offers a full feature set that's perfect for professional
photographers, including a 6.17-megapixel effective resolution (increased to 12
megapixels with in-camera technology), compatibility with Nikon F-mount lenses
as well as a majority of Nikkor AF lenses. Improvements over the FinePix S2
include larger, more ergonomically placed buttons, power from 4 rechargeable
NiMH batteries, and USB 2.0 connectivity (as well as FireWire). This model does
not include a lens.
Optics and Resolution
The FinePix S3 Pro's Super CCD SR sensor (23 x 15.5mm) uses 6.17 million
S-pixels and 6.17 million R-pixels (for 12.3 million effective photodiodes) to
deliver 12 million recorded pixels and noticeable image improvements to that of
single-pixel cameras. The SR sensor's unique double photodiode design broadens
tonal capability, from bright highlights to deep shadows and produces images
with a dynamic range four times greater than that of a sensor working on
single-pixel technology. It gives greater sensitivity, improved signal-to-noise
ratio, and consistently natural colour reproduction, and also produces the
following resolution modes: 4256 x 2848, 3024 x 2016, 2304 x 1536, and 1440 x
960.
It has a Nikon F mount and accepts a full range of Nikkor F-series
lenses--including AF-D, AF-G and AF-S type professional optics.
Fourth-Generation Super CCD SR
FujiFilm's Super CCD SR provides a truer representation of the actual subject
being photographed, revealing highlight detail and offering a four-fold increase
in dynamic range. By using an innovative layout of paired photodiodes--in a
"honeycomb" pattern--the technology enables confident shooting in both bright
and cloudy conditions. The Super CCD improves overall signal-to-noise ratio and
offers a much wider dynamic range. It also combats the bleached-out effect
created by flash photography and increases exposure latitude, a great advantage
in difficult lighting conditions.
More Features
Rugged, polycarbonate body with rounder design and molded rear grip
2-inch, 235,000 pixel horizontal LCD delivers crisp, clear images and nearly
100% frame coverage
Secondary LCD indicates shooting information and settings
Dual shutter release buttons to allow optimum comfort and stability in both
horizontal and vertical orientations
Intelligent flash with D-TTL full-aperture exposure metering system
Shutter speeds of 30 seconds to 1/4,000 second
Sensitivity: ISO 100, 160, 200, 400, 800, 1600
Direct Printing
The FinePix S3 Pro is PictBridge compatible, which enables you to transfer
pictures from your digital camera to your printer, without a PC or image-editing
software. All PictBridge devices share three basic features: camera-to-printer
connecting, single-image printing, and uniform error messages (in case something
goes wrong)
Storage and Transfer
The FinePix S3 Pro offers a dual-media approach to storage: XD and CompactFlash
Type II memory cards (offering compatibility with optional Microdrives, which
can provide up to 4 GB of storage). It also incorporates dual PC connectivity,
via super-fast USB 2.0 or IEEE 1394 (FireWire, also called i.Link).
Power and Size
The camera is powered exclusively by 4 rechargeable NiMH batteries (included).
It measures 5.8 x 5.3 x 3.1 inches (W x H x D) and weighs 1.6 pounds (excluding
battery and lens).
Product Description
Apart from the high-resolution 12.34 megapixel CCD that, in itself, ranks this
digital-camera into a professional class model, it's the exceptional dynamic
range of those pixels that help deliver the most lifelike photos around.
Bringing digital photography closer to film than ever before. The Super CCD SR
II sensor at the heart of the FinePix S3 pro ensures superb image quality by
addressing the issue of dynamic range. And the "S" pixels of Fujifilm's Super
CCD SR II sensor work to increase sensitivity, broadening tonal response with a
natural look and feel, and smoothness. Based on Nikon N80 technology, the solid,
one-piece SLR body is made from a durable polycarbonate and has an F-mount lens
fitting for Nikon lens compatibility. In addition, a revolutionary two-inch,
235,000 pixel horizontal display delivers crisp, clear images and approximately
100% frame coverage. Powered by 4 AA rechargeable batteries, output is maximized
for professional standards with worldwide compatibility. Dual Image Interfaces -
The FinePix S3 Pro provides IEEE 1394 (FireWire) and USB 2.0 interfaces for
camera control (IEEE1394 only) and high-speed image transfer Sold as a body
only. Does not include a lens (accepts Nikon F-Mount SLR lenses) Selectable
image resolutions - 4256 x 2848, 3024 x 2016, 2304 x 1536, 1440 x 960 Shutter
