Nothing new there, dpreview documented the impressive dynamic range
performance of the S3 in JPEG two years ago

The question he didn't answer in any definitive way was how much is
gained in RAW over the competition. There are some samples that look
impressive, but no comparisons.
The other questions of interest are whether the performance hit is as
great as it was with the S3. "however the downside is that you have to
shoot in Wide dynamic range RAW mode (25 MB per image, 13 sec write
time, 40 images on a 1 GB card)" and whether Fuji has improved it's
software, which was far poorer at dynamic range with WdrRAW files than PSCS.
