I really believe more people should take advantage of the Fuji in camera B&W capabilities. I havent seen many conversions that match Fuji's Out Of Camera results. And playing with ISO and exposure options really makes a difference.Its like having several brands of film stock in the camera, right on hand. Plus you can see what youre getting on the spot.

Here are a few SOOC examples from the s5:

Absolutely Straight Out Of the Camera.

In fact, I believe in this so much I started several Fuji B&W flickr groups

The Fuji In-Camera B&W group

Fuji s5 Pro B&W (in Camera)

as well as other Noir groups.

A seriously underrated aspect of the Fuji cameras. Its also a great use for rarely used Fuji's. (I wish I had kept my Fuji s9000 for that purpose, my best B&W digi camera).
