Say What?

Fujifilm, which recently held inventory blow-out sales for the S3 Pro introduced, wait for it, an S3 Pro. This "new model," the S3 Pro UVIR (US$1795) has an altered low pass filtration that allow UV and near-IR wavelengths to be recorded by the sensor (spectrum allowed: 350 to 1000nm). The camera is targeted at law enforcement, but my personal assessment is that the S3 Pro isn't rugged enough for the abuse such cameras tend to get. Moreover, most lenses tend to block UV light, and the one UV optic (and flash) that Nikon made that would be of high interest to users of this camera was made in low quantities and tough to find.
