[wind30]

just curious, what version of hyper utility they pack with the s5pro? did fujifilm have a totally new software?

 

[Sausage]

Why didn't the S5 pro come with the vert grip anyway? Was it to keep the cost down?

 

[offspring]

Confirmed! You can use Nikon MB-D200 with S5Pro. Best of all, it uses the same EN-EL3e battery.

Er.... Strange. The folks at Cathay Photo managed to do it without problems. :dunno:

I thought the S5 could use the D200 grip? :think:

 

[simon80]

S5pro can use the D200's VG

S5pro cannot use the D200 battery, EN-EL3E both with or w/o grip

I tested today at AP

The menu interface is crappy to me. Looks similar to the F31D.
Playback for RAW is damn Slow.

Simon says cannot ley. I saw the folks at Cathay did it. A bit of controversy here.

STOP!!!!! DON'T SELL YOURS YET. CAN USE MB-D200.

Slow meh? Quite okay what. Slower than Canon of course.

Japanese interface maybe. After all this camera is Japanese-made.
