It boasts a Super CCD 23×15.5 mm image sensor of the same configuration as its predecessor, with 6.17 million low sensitivity pixels and 6.17 million high sensitivity pixels to give a high dynamic range, and a boost top 3200 iso.

It introduces also a face detection feature for reviewing those details faster and a "live view" function to help focusing. It is possible to use it in tethered operation, to connect a barcode reader and a wired ethernet or wifi link.

Compatibility with Nikon D200 battery systems

While the Finepix S5 Pro does share the same body design as the Nikon D200, it is incompatible with its lithium-ion battery, the EN-EL3e. It is, however, compatible with the Nikon MB-D200 battery pack and vertical battery grip, provided that Fujifilm NP-150 lithium batteries or 6 AA cells are used.

UV/IR version of camera

On 2007-07-13 Fujifilm announced an ultraviolet and infrared sensitive version of the Finepix S5 Pro, the FinePix IS Pro. The camera is marketed towards the law-enforcement, medical and scientific communities.
