Fujifilm Japan Announces S3 Pro Buffer Upgrade
Fujifilm Japan has today announced that it will
make available an upgrade for the S3 Pro digital SLR which will increase the
camera's internal buffer from 128 MB to 256 MB. This increase in buffer space
means up to 8/16 RAW/JPEG frames (Wide dynamic range) or 17/33 RAW/JPEG frames
(Standard dynamic range) in a single burst. This addresses at least one of our
complaints about the S3 Pro. This upgrade will initially cost ¥21,000
($190) in Japan. This increase in buffer will also make its way into the normal
retail camera (Japan only). UPDATE: This upgrade will initially be made
available in Japan but will be rolled out across the world (no date yet), the
'already upgraded' version won't be available in the US or the UK.
