You really show your cultural "pride"!I'm a Swedish citizen. Sweden is a very small country and we feel pride of our internationally known companies....
Maybe the rumoured IQ250 will steal the show anyway, we'll see. My guess is that it will be as usual, IQ250 will be substantially better digital back.
This is absolutely exciting news!It is going to be a very interesting few weeks.
PhaseOne IQ250 coming soon with a.... new 50MP CMOS sensor | Photo Rumors
You really show your cultural "pride"!
Texting must drive the man to distractionI only knew a rant by David Mitchell, which now seems kind of a rip off.

I can wait if its anything like the color out of the M240, with banding at 3200.This is absolutely exciting news!
Cannot wait till Leica announces the CMOS bases S camera
So when your Presidents begin their addresses with "My fellow Americans,...", they are all wrong, every time? Jeez, you'd think that with all those highly paid advisors and speech writers, the White House would have got it right by now.Oh, BTW, Dave, it isn't America … it is the United States of America. Canada is also American. So is Mexico and all of South America :roll eyes:
:ROTFL:

Maybe by then they will have worked out those issues. I guess those of us who own an M will know first hand as the firmware updates continue to arrive....and maybe they'll lower the price point again. $17k? One can dream!I can wait if its anything like the color out of the M240, with banding at 3200.
I'm also not in a huge rush to shell out for another $22,000+ body
However, I am absolutely sure the next S will be CMOS.

But we aren't the one's striving correct anyone … U RSo when your Presidents begin their addresses with "My fellow Americans,...", they are all wrong, every time? Jeez, you'd think that with all those highly paid advisors and speech writers, the White House would have got it right by now.

With 35mm climbing up their backside, it better be something to make it stand out. The S lenses outstrip the sensor as it is, so there is a lot of room for jacking up the resolution … and multipoint AF would be welcome.Maybe by then they will have worked out those issues. I guess those of us who own an M will know first hand as the firmware updates continue to arrive....and maybe they'll lower the price point again. $17k? One can dream!
I agree, the difference between the S/S2 was not such a big deal IQ-wise, but a CMOS S with usable 1600 -3200 ISO, 2-3 fps and an extra few accurate AF points would surely make other photographers take notice. Provided color stays as good as it is now.IMO, they kept the price down on the new S because it really wasn't that big of an improvement over the S2 … but if they manage a new 50+ meg CMOS S with Live View (at least on the LCD) I seriously doubt it'll dip below $25K.

No religion from my side. If it takes Sony throwing their hat in the ring with a partner like Hasselblad then it's good all ways around. Heck, my favourite long term camera is an XPan II (I've had three and I'm not selling again!) and that was produced by Fuji but in conjunction with Hasselblad. Ditto the Zeiss and Fuji glass they use. If it works I think all of us will embrace it.
I just want to see a real camera with a real sensor with real software before declaring it nirvana. I'm sure that the Lunar/Stellar was a well intentioned part of the Sony partnership (and Hasselblad cash cow) but it really hurt Hasselblad's credibility IMHO.
(Btw, lest anyone think that I'm an H hater, I would FAR FAR rather gone with an H system for my Phase One backs than the Phamiya DF/DF+. In so many ways it's a better DSLR IMHO)
Strange. Are you not aware that there are many photographers quite capably still using H1,H2 and H4X bodies with phase one backs?Graham,
I am in total agreement with you. I always preferred the H4D body. I just wish Hasselblad had kept the system open and allowed you to use a PhaseOne back.
All the best,
Mike
Not only that, even an old H1 is still a much better camera than the DF.Strange. Are you not aware that there are many photographers quite capably still using H1,H2 and H4X bodies with phase one backs?
