The S3 Pro's unique selling feature, its extended dynamic range, really does exist and does work. There's the image quality, resolution which for a six megapixel is really fairly impressive (if you can ignore some of SuperCCD artifacts), a color response with real 'pop', low noise (although softer images at high ISO's) and slightly better dynamic range than other D-SLR's. There's plenty to like about the S3 Pro, there's a new body design which is comfortable, includes a portrait grip and feels robust. Hyper-Utility2 has limited range of adjustment latitude, bettered by Adobe Camera RAW.Viewfinder view is smaller than some of the competition.Largest and heaviest digital SLR among its peers.Play mode image deletion slowed by animation.Confusing record review options, no simple postview with histogram & delete option.Flash sync 1/180 sec (compared to 1/500 sec for the Nikon D70).Wake from sleep only with half-press of shutter release.No mirror lock-up / anti-vibration mode.Camera system still in 'two halves' (photo / digital).Crippled extended dynamic range feature, best results from RAW -> Adobe Camera RAW.Disappointing continuous shooting capability, especially in wide dyn.SuperCCD artifacts still visible, more so at the 12 mp size (which delivers the best res).Almost $1,000 more than the competition.Dual data connectivity USB 2.0 and Firewire (IEEE 1394).Now single battery solution, a single Lithium-Ion rechargeable would have been better.RAW mode provides the 'digital negative' (although very large in wide dyn.Selectable color space (sRGB / Adobe RGB).Image parameter adjustment (color, tone, sharpness), although limited.Good auto focus, works well even in low light, AF assist lamp.Fast in use, near instant power on, CF interface slower than we would have liked.

Rear panel plus soft buttons design is useful for quickly changing settings.Instantly recognizable control system (as it's based on the F80/N80).Nice body design, integral vertical grip, soft rubbers, feels robust.Low noise throughout the sensitivity range although softer images at higher ISO's.Unique extended dynamic range SuperCCD, although crippled by in-camera algorithms.Good color and tonal balance, vibrant 'pleasing' color response, can be toned down.Good resolution, better than the average six megapixel.
