Super CCD Vs CCD (FujiFilm S3 Vs Nikon D200)

- I figure these 2 cameras are of a very similar era of DSLR and it got me thinking, how super was FujiFilm's Super CCD? So why not pit it against a conventional CCD and have a look at a couple specific points. Then we can compare the S3 to the D200 overall.
Just an FYI the D200 is a better camera, but watch the video as I break down point by point why that is haha!

The Video was recorded on a Sony A7 III with the 28mm F2, Deity D4 mini Mic, with a set of video lights.
My D200 returns 15mb files in RAW. It's RAW images have more "pop" than my CMOS cameras. Love my D200!
Id be interested to see an s5 pro vs a d200 comparison! Great work by the way! I have 3 d200s lol so i pretty much love any video talking about it.
I am looking to pick up an S5, if I can find it for a price I like or find one I can repair you can bet they'll be a video! Haha that's good I do have a couple more D200 videos ideas I am planning on!
@@Mr50mmish cant wait! if i find one for a decent price ill buy it myself.
Used Photo Pro in Indiana has a bunch of S5 Pro this week 1 July. Not sure if that's the price range US$190-$260, not inc custom and tariffs.
I find SilkyPix difficult mainly because the controls are really small on my screen and there's no adjustment possible.
@@DixonLu oh that's not bad! I'll have to check it out. Haha kind of blew through my camera budget recently though so we'll see if I can get one!
Really like the video. Just got a D200 myself. Really sweet camera. New sub.
Thanks for the sub! That is awesome, I hope you like the D200 as much as I do!
The Fuji cameras with F-Mount got very popular with wedding photographers.
Use Silkypix software for Fuji S3/S5. It was originally designed with the CCD in mind. There's an actual slider to render more detail from the S3/S5 sensor in the software called Resolution. It's suppose to recover more highlights and restore some of the interpolated detail. The software is a little slow but the color it resolves from the .raf files is awesome. Great alternative over Lightroom, but not quite as good as the Hyper Utility software designed for the S3/S5.
I am using the current Fujifilm software Raw File convertor EX 3.0 powered by Silkypix. The highlight recovery is very excellent. Your right the camera is able to pull some excellent colors when you work with the software. But I do find the interpolated image while it's not bad, when you put it beside the D200's 10mp images it just doesn't stack up as well.
I love both my S3 and S5,and I know the S5 is a better camera but there is 1 thing I miss on the S5 that is on the S3 (you missed it too) and that is the control you have over the camera using the small screen for WB,quality etc..all in all a very good review (even with the heads up about the slight bias). keep up the good work,your videos are excellent :-)
Thanks, yeah I kind of debated bring up the sub display and soft buttons, as they are an excellent way to work around the film body. Haha but I was trying to keep the video time to under 30 minutes!
If I get this right, I could use my Nikkor FX glass on these Fuji S3 / S5?
@@chawenhalo0089 yup. No issue mounting the lenses.
I have never owned or used a Nikon N80, Nikon D200, or Fuji S3 Pro.
The Fuji S3 Pro is a Fuji modified Nikon N80.
The Fuji S5 Pro is a Fuji modified Nikon D200.
I own and use three Fuji S5 bodies for shooting portraits, weddings, and other social events with my inventory of Nikon F lenses.
I use my s3pro iruv everyday ! its so good
That's awesome to hear!
I have the S5 Pro. Despite its high dynamic range and nice skin tones, I think it's a tad too soft at 12Mpixels probably due to interpolation.
That is about the experience I'm getting with the S3 pro.
I have a query, regarding the yellow bud picture. you said the right image is D200 . can you double check on that cos i can see the dynamic range is better on the right side image. Although i have a D200 with me but i liked the images coming out of the S3. ofcourse in all other aspects the D200 beats the S3 easily. Thanks for the excellent review.
I can confirm the images are correctly labelled, it might be more a color rendering thing than DR. Neither image histogram is significantly different. However, for these images I didn't really do much to the output other than match the exposure at time of photo or match color temp in order to remove any editing bias (any other edits I did were copied onto the other respective RAWs). I can also confirm when I tweak the S3 raw file I can make it look like the D200 on the right but that's not how it came out with all settings matched.
I do think the S3 photo generally appears a bit more flat when you don't tweak stuff and it's DR preservation settings are active (I did have the DR setting to maximum for these comparisons to fully utilize those secondary pixels). However that brought me to the other point that utilizing the wide DR capture effectively does require more work on the editing side to help the final image come out! If I were just editing the photos for my preferences I would have probably done more to both RAWs, but in this case I wanted a more direct comparison!
@@Mr50mmish Appreciate the quick response. This is by far the best comparison video of D200 with any camera. Keep up the good work. All the best. Cheers.
It was a more closer comparison between S5 Pro and D200. They have the same body. And between S3 Pro and S5 Pro it isn't so big gap!
Technologically yes they are a better comparison but as far as price point the S3 is currently closer to the value of the D200 than the S5. If I get an S5 I will probably compare it but sensor wise the S3 is the same as the S5 so at the least the image comparisons will be valid for both cams.
D2oo is weather sealed
"superness". Excellent! I don't know why, and your channel isn't helping in that regard that I'm developing a fascination for older pure photo cameras and sensors.
Haha your welcome :) these old cameras are pretty fun!
You do not know what you’re talking about I own three cameras Fujis3pro
Haha what do you specifically mean? That's fine that you like the camera, but I don't think my points are invalid.
