Fujifilm FinePix S5 Pro S-5 found on eBay (8 avail)

for those who want to be the first on the block ... obviously the price and

shipping is at a premium ... the downside could be that these are from Japan:

i used "fujifilm s5 2007" as my google search string ... you'll see the ebay URL

cheers! michael

I think all of them are from Japan, anyway. :-)

I suppose you meant those are gray imports from Japan and don't have warranty coverage outside. The manuals could be in Japanese only also.

MJ T:

Buy one, try it and let us know if it is worth its hype.

B&H already have it on their webpage at $ 1,899,95. It says "estimated availability - February", so it should be very soon now.

Same price at Adorama, it says "This is a New Item, Not in stock yet, expecting delivery from Manufacturer."

Park Cameras seem to be saying that they'll have it for ?1199 inclusive of VAT, which is 50

quid cheaper than the UK RRP. Whether this is a good price in absolute terms for the camera I

don't know, but it's not a bad price when you compare it to the US dollar price. I'll be

interested to see what the reviews are like.
