I am selling my trusty but not rusty Fujifilm S2 Pro along with some extras. It’s a very robust and great camera. I had it for several years, but used it mostly in studio (since I have Nikon D70s to take with me). If you check Amazon.com the S2 Pro goes for over $600. Most people use it for wedding and studio photography, since it produces much better, brighter and more vibrant colors than any rival camera.

If you need to see long specs, sample images, reviews and so on – there is no better place then DPReview.com page on Fuji S2 Pro.

Things you need to know about this camera:

• it has it’s own Fujifilm SuperCCD III sensor (see picture above) that gets better colors then Nikon or Canon cameras
• its auto focus is a bit slow, so it will be a bad idea to use this camera to shoot sports
• it takes standard Nikon F-mount lens
• it was built from Nikon N80 body with the mechanical film parts replaced by electronics, so the camera looks and feels like N80 (I have N80 too, so I can confirm that firsthand)
• because it was build from N80 body it uses two types of batteries at the same time: 4 AA batteries (in the bottom cartridge) and 2 CR123 batteries in the grip. They power different parts of equipment, so the indicator on top LCD screen shows the status of grip batteries while the indicator on the back panel screen reports on the status of bottom tray elements.

Since the camera has been with me for at least two moves I promise I will not bother to look for box, software and other stuff, whatever titles you can find online these days will probably be light years ahead of what you would have had on a CD that ships with the camera.

What comes in selling package:

• camera body (if you only want the body – ask me, I’ll be happy to sell the body only)
• Sigma Aspherical 28 – 105 D lens with cap and hood
• camera strap
• 340MB IBM Microdrive
• 4 Ni-MH rechargeable batteries
• charger for Ni-MH elements
• 2 SureFire CR123 batteries (non-rechargeable)
