Although it was unveiled in early February 2004, it took just over 11 months for Fujifilm’s FinePix S3 Pro to reach dealers’ shelves. The new model, which is targeted at professional photographers and high-end enthusiasts, is based on the Nikon F80 but, rather than using an existing Nikon body, it has a single-piece polycarbonate shell that has been customised for digital photography. It’s slightly wider and taller than its predecessor, but also marginally slimmer, with more rounded contours.
