How Will Using A Non-digital Lens With A Digital Body Change The Quality?

Posted by Dslr Body | Comments (3)

Category : General

Tags: , , , ,

I have older Vivitar lens that I’d like to use with my new digital SLR Canon EOS xTi camera. I will be trying to mount using a t-adapter. These are nice lenses that have been taken care of but will the quality be different if I don’t use a digital lens for my digital SLR?

Will The Lens From My Canon 35mm Eos Rebel Fit The Body Of A Canon Rebel Slr Digital?

Posted by Dslr Body | Comments (0)

Category : General

Tags: , , , ,

Yes they will.
That is why Canon dumped their old (but very good) near professional cameras in the middle 1980’s and introduced the EOS system .. now all the EOS cameras and EOS lenses will fit together. There is a small problem with the EF-S lenses when used on full frame Canon cameras, but at least they fit.

Product Description
The FinePix S5 Pro is further affirmation of Fujifilm's goal to achieve professional D-SLR image quality consistent with Fujifilm's professional film heritage. The FinePix S5 Pro carries a number of attributes that make it so popular with wedding, portrait and studio photographers. One of them is increased dynamic range from the Super CCD SR double pixel technology (6.17 million S-pixels and 6.17 million R-pixels). The FinePix S5 Pro continues this tradition of expanded dynamic range and goes a step further by coupling Super CCD SR Pro sensor with Fujifilm's RP (Real Photo) Processor Pro for even more outstanding, film-like results. Moreover, the FinePix S5 Pro houses the two technologies in a fully digital and durable metal alloy body frame. This opens the door for Fujifilm's digital imaging technologies to expand into other applications such as outdoor and high endurance commercial photography.

In a word ...."WOW"!!
 
Review Date: January 2, 2008
Reviewer: Greg...Florida,
This review is based on my real-world experience with the Fuji S5 Pro and not number crunching, or high-tech analyzing.
I've owned a Nikon D200 since they first appeared and absolutely enjoyed every minute of researching, learning, and shooting. I've been playing with SLR's and a few DSLR's since the mid 1980's. I've taken night classes in digital imaging and all the other related stuff so I'm somewhat familiar with photography. I've wanted to see what all the "5 stars," super reviews, etc. was going down with the Fuji S5 Pro. A neighbor of mine opted to for-go his purchase of a D300 and buy an S5 Pro....I told him "are you nuts!!" From 3 months of his S5 Pro he showed me a number of people, nature, and landscape shots. I asked how much PP he did to them and he assured me...."nothing, not a thing."
The portraits looked better than professional, the landscapes looked postcard ready, and the nature shots were stunning. Granted, every photographer does not use the same settings and techniques, and of course there are variables to everything you compare, but I couldn't figure how he shot such unrealistic, beautiful images right out of the camera. After much debate, I took the plunge and got one. I damned near became obsessed with learning as much as I could and practiced on almost everything I could. After about 2 months.....

NOW...IMO REAL WORLD REVIEW:

1. The dynamic range, color, low noise/high ISO and detail is really remarkable.
2. I like the familiar, solid D200 "feel" about the camera.
3. "Fast" (fps) is something one must determine based on applications;
Weddings, portraits, walkaround, etc.....yes, following child down a soccer field with finger held down on shutter release....no.
4. Big RAW files yes, but tolerable with a 4-8MB CF card. Transferring files to your PC needs a bit of patience even with a big PC.
5. Reputable company (Fujifilm), contender in the DSLR market, good product support...no brainer.
6. Good glass...a must.. cheap-out and the S5 Pro outputs garbage (I've tried this with a borrowed lens).
7. "Good photos come from good photography"...true to an extent, having and learning with the right gear to obtain "good photos"...more realistic.

My Summary: My goal is to achieve the best image quality from the camera
that I've spent my hard earned money as possible. Looking exclusively on buying the S5 Pro for "application" purposes can be very subjective (IMO). The Fuji S5 Pro works for me as my "all around" camera. Will I sell my D200? Do I now need 2 cameras?...Soon time will tell. Do I like what I see from the S5 Pro....absolutely!!!
Fantastic camera for people and portraits
 
Review Date: April 11, 2007
Reviewer: James Hatsis, Greensboro, GA USA
I have a Nikon D200 already but after reading about this camera I decided to buy it. I am not sorry. First off, this is not the camera for you if you need to shoot high speed action shots (more than 3 FPS). This camera does one thing very well...it captures excellent detail both in highlights and shadows due to it's unique sensor.

Pro's:
1. Fantastic color
2. The best Auto white balance I have seen
3. Very beautiful skin tones right out of the camera
4. Fantastic camera body based on the Nikon D200 and can use almost all of Nikon's lenses and accessories

Con's
1. Not high speed compared to the Nikon D200
2. Will NOT work with the Nikon D200 Batteries (The D200 battery grip WILL work with fuji batteries OR rechargeable AA's)
3. High Price

From "Lets go Digital" online review... "The additional price that you pay for the Fujifilm FinePix S5 Pro in comparison to the competition can be clarified at once and will definitely not form a barrier to photographers with high requirements. The FinePix S5 Pro has definitely put Fujifilm back at the head of the race!"

I've only touched the surface here... Buy this if you want more detail in your photos. Portrait and wedding photography comes to mind when I think of this camera
Fuji S5 Pro color
 
Review Date: October 2, 2008
Reviewer: Another Reader,
I have had the S5 pro for a little over a year. I have seen side-by-side results compared with Nikon D200 and D300 and Canon 12.1's and the Olympus flagship. Shooting in RAW the Fuji is just as sharp as any 10 to 12 megapixel camera out there. I don't like the less sharp standard settings. But what makes the Fuji chip special is the color. It's dead on; rich, finely textured, true. The design which mimicks the rods and cones of the eye works. Period. All the SLR's that have come out in the last 1 or 2 years are amazing. But the Fuji S5 still holds its own on color reproduction which probably is expected since Fuji is of course a long time leader in film manufacturing.
The best quality for the least money of any professional camera
 
Review Date: March 24, 2009
Reviewer: Raymond A. Brown, Texas
I have owned the S-2 S-3 and have now owned the S-5 since it was released, I think in 2006. The colors,dynamic range and tonality were far Superior to any pro camera that would cost twice the money and still they lagged behind the quality curve( the S-5 is not a fast camera). I have since bought and sold a Nixon D200 that really disappointed me.

When I have to take only one camera I leave the Canon D40 at home and take the Fuji S-5.

The saddest time in digital photography came when Fuji decided to not continue in the Pro Digital market. If Nikon had had some smart leadership they would have had Fuji develop sensor technology for them.

Its a shame to see one of the finest engineering teams just working on Prosumer product lines. I will always be a Fuji advocate even though they no longer support the Fuji S-5.

A Quality Camera

Reviewer: P. Reams, SoCal, USA
I got exactly what I was expecting with camera and have to agree with the reviewer above. The camera renders skin wonderfully. In fact, with the exception of the D3, I wouldn't trade it for any other F-mount camera. I've really enjoyed shooting with it and I'll be disappointed if Fuji gets out of the DSLR market.
