One note on the shot from Voidshatter the lower circled spot on the 32mm is not mazing but a error in the stitching. Follow it across the image. The upper circled example does show what might be mazing but I really don't think it would show up on a print unless you used a loup.
You really can see the mazing in the 35XL example.
Edit,
I also did want to note, that as far as I know of the Digital Transitions testing, is the only testing that was done, and put out in detail, where you could pull down the files and see the raw images. I have never seen any formal comparison from Phase One, just action shots taken with the 250.
In this same testing, some other issues came out pretty quickly.
1. The IQ260 at 6 seconds had tons of stuck pixels, in the thousands. and that was at 6 seconds. These did not correct with the dark frame that would have been taken.
2. The difference in the DR in the shadows was 100% impressive for the 250, in that it was totally possible to pull up areas on shifts that were 85% dark, and see wood grain when the exposure was corrected
3. Many forget that in the main shots there were a series of metal bars that covered a row of the books, in the 260 and 180 shots these had so much aliasing (Christmas Tree light effect) to render this part of the image worthless, as it distracted terribly. The 250 had none of this.
My point being, I feel that based on the testing I saw from Guy on the Credo 50, that if you can live with 12mm of shifting and the 1:3 crop , the 250 is the better overall solution. I still want to max out shifts to even 18mm or 20mm which will really make it hard to correct with a 250, even though the sensor is cropped. The crop of 30% does have a big issue for me, it's 30% that's a lot. If you shoot wides which I do there are a lot of shots I couldn't just back up a few steps to take.
My opinion may have changed for the 250 after talking to another US dealer and realizing that there might be a more aggressive trade in for my 260, however before I would ever consider a move, I need to shoot the back and this just is not easy to do as rentals are not covered by my current insurance, so I need to somehow meet up with a dealer in person and shoot. Something I still hope to do later this year.
