I just rec’d this camera and was very dissapointed to find that the auto focus will not work. Has anyone else had this problem?

I purchased this camera from employee discount for $900. When I got the camera it wouldn’t work. After shooting one image, camera got locked up. shutter wouldn’t come back down, nor switch off. I had to pull out the battery to reset. that’s not the worst part, Returning back to fujifilm was so much hassle that I had call my AMEX to dispute the charges to get my full refund back. Never again will I buy fujifilm. unfortunately I work for the company ;(

So far, so good. Beautiful color, the film profiles are good, and useful. Some bugs need to be worked out, like the auto ISO, which works (even though it shouldn’t) in manual mode, but mostly it retains the strengths of the D200 (handling, quality) and adds Fuji’s image quality. I’ve only had it for a week, but so far I like it.

I finally bought the S5 Pro after a long wait for the price to drop, i am the owner of Fuji S2, S3 pro for a long time and still..I have no doubt that S5 will exceed the previous models. Indeed it is a much better camera.
The build is nicely solid, fast respond, heavy and feel great in my hands. I have read many reviews on this S5, people complained about its back focus issue!? I found no problem at all. I can only suggest people to read the manual throughout 1st before using the camera, one must know all the functions of this camera..The AF is more advance than the S2&S3, it got many settings on it.
As far as picture quality , OMG! it is totally awesome. the color is so smooth and so pleasing, the details is so attractive, not to mention very nice noise control at high iso, the sharpness come from your lens, but i love all about Fuji image quality, it is the best i’ve seen, and i have owned about 20 digital cameras already. To bad Fuji stop making DSLR, otherwise i would buy their next model. But i have faith that Fuji will return 1 day..
Strongly suggest anyone who cares for IQ rather than speed. S5 is a fast enough camera. But you will be happy with the end result.
I sell prints , i dont sell speed. Infact, i dont wear shirt that say Canon or Fuji, i wear shirt that say Jesus save!!!!..
