I was foolish enough to request for a demo of the H3Dii-31 at the local dealer's, and was amazed with the quality. As mentioned elsewhere, I normally shoot Canon 1dmk3. Typical subjects are watches, portraits, a bit of architecture and landscape...though very heavy on first two.
The dealer offered a fairly interesting price for a demo H3D-22 with 6 month warranty, and I went for a quick spin with the older camera. Shooting tethered, found it to be rather good...See Fun with MF thread for a couple of pics from the session.
I am wondering if it is a good time to get into Hassy now...especially when the H4D is imminent, I am guessing the H3Dii line will be replaced. The H3D-22 is already been discontinued, though still produces very nice results. With the H4D, tradeins, etc, I figure the H3Dii will drop in prices, and perhaps may be able to pick up a H3Dii-39 or H3Dii-31 one instead of the H3D-22...or by then even the H3D-22 should drop further in price.
So the question is, is the difference between H3D and H3Dii great enough? Did anyone upgraded from i to ii? What is your experience?
Thanks.
