Fujifilm has announced its release of the FinePix s5 Pro, ideal for portrait and studio work. The camera's Super CCD SR Pro sensor, roughly 400 percent wider than that of a CCD working on a single lens, allows for expanded dynamic range from the double pixel technology (6.17 million S-pixels and 6.17 million R-pixels).

Combining the new Super CCD SR Pro sensor with Fujifilm's new RP Processor Pro results in smoother tonality. ISO-equivalent sensitivity of 3200 is available on the FinePix S5 Pro. Fujifilm's Face Detection technology offers a post-capture function allowing for the detection of up to ten faces in a scene. The LCD monitor lets users zoom in on the faces of subjects, confirming focus, exposure and whether eyes are open or closed.

The FinePix S5 Pro's additional features include excellent ergonomics with weatherproof seals, a robust shutter mechanism tested to exceed 100,000 cycles, and a film simulation mode with three new settings for varying skin tones.

The FinePix S5 Pro has a retail price of $1,999.
