You found the one function that I really like about the Phase 645DF that the D3x can't do. I had to get an accessory remote from Premote Systems called, unoriginally, the "Premote" to be able to do this. Overkill if that's all you want but I use it for time-lapse control.Things have worked out great. Only missed one planned shoot with the phase, and took the opportunity to shoot a D3x (man was I lost. How in the world do I do a mirror up/self timer at the same time). Nice camera though and got a couple of nice things.
With the D3x it's nice to have a camera that is only limited by the glass you put on it. The P65 & Alpa should give you so so much more detail though. I'm still impressed with how much DR and tonality the 14bit Nikon files can produce even compared to my own Leaf Aptus (RIP ).
Optech have been very helpful to me also. Glad to hear that you're up and running plus found the warranty to get a replacement from Phase One until it's fixed.
