I can't read simplified Chinese, only traditional Chinese so I can only read once every few words. :?

The S5 seems quite impressive, though why is Fuji sticking with 6mp sensors... :cry:

Grev - the sensor size is not indicative of either its qualities or abilities.

The Fuji sensor is renowned for its low noise as is the 4.7Mb Nikon D2Hs sensor.

It’s not size that matters, but quality :wink:

I thought if you turn on something in the settings, you get a 12MP output from the S5.

So right - you have 2 sensors in a hexagonal configuration - each sensor is 6.17Mp and are named S and R. In the camera you can change the pixels to 4256x2848 (12.1Mp), 3024x2016 (6.1Mp) and 2304x1536 (3.54Mp).

It'll be nice to see what it looks like with a decent lens, say an 85mm F1.4 :)

The S3 has the R+S pixel sensor. The difference can be seen in the highlight data where the dynamic range is increased.

So take a typical summers day, now throw a bride in a white dress and the groom in a black suit. The Fuji is able to capture more dress detail without sacrificing the exposure and losing out on contrast compared to Nikon and canon DSLRS.
