FujiFilm FinePix IS Pro DSLR reviewed

PoliceOne has a review of the FujiFilm FinePix IS Pro, designed to meet the requirements of law enforcement processionals, crime scene investigation, forensics and other official agencies. Designed for photography beyond the visible spectrum of the human eye, the camera is a solid, reliable product, offering a LiveView LCD, all sorts of polarizing, IR, UV filters to reveal gunshot residue, body fluids and blood stains, something you would not want to see in your living room.

From the review:

The FujiFilm Finepix IS Pro is a 12.3 megapixel digital SLR specifically designed for professional photography of images that go beyond the visual spectrum of the human eye. It was designed to be used with a selection of filters from PECA for limiting the spectrum of certain wavelengths to the image. It is based on the FujiFilm Finepix S5 Pro DSLR body, which allows it to mount the entire library of Nikon F lenses and iTTL flash systems, one of the largest selections in professional photography. The IS Pro uses Fujifilm's Super CCD Pro, a CCD designed to more accurately capture an image than conventional DSLRs.

Evidence photographers find themselves shooting at varied angles and situations. The technology for tilting the LCD is there and this would complete the IS Pro package. In its defense, however, I found I could read the LCD at oblique angles better than similar products, even with the supplied LCD cover on.
