Fujifilm has upgraded its FinePix line with the IS Pro, a special take on the S5 Pro cameras. It has an enhanced CCD sensor and image processor combine with IR and UV filters to capture images outside of viewable light; to ensure that the intended image is the right one, the live LCD preview now includes a high contrast black-and-white mode while the sensor has a special protective glass filter to guard against dust and damage during cleaning.

A basic, body-only version starts at $2,600 with the stock filters; jumping to $3,800 adds multiple additional IR and UV filters as well as toughened, rubber body armor for field work. A top $5,000 model adds a 50mm Zeiss macro lens suited to close-up IR shots. All the kits should be available now from specialty camera resellers.
