Void ain't no troll. He is a very intelligent person who has taken a ton of time to post his findings. I find it sad that some people would such as being a troll.
Every person can make choices and the information he has provided will make it easier for someone to see the differences between the performance of a CCD chip and CMOS.
For most people, the purchase of a Phase One back should not be a decision taken lightly, it wasn't for me. I challenge anyone on this site to find 10% of the information he has shown on Phase One's site, it's not there we all know that. Sure the dealer community will let you rent a back and test it, (but for some of us that is not as easy as it sounds). I commend Leaf for letting Guy have the Credo 50 for his review as it was very enlightening for me as to the capabilities of the 50MP chip. I personally disagree with the opinion that Phase One shouldn't have to provide any information, it's up to the dealers. That's not how I see a leading company to handle this.
Many have stated, that there has been a ton of information on this already. In reality there really hasn't been a ton of information on this. Look at the timeline:
Jan/Feb of 2014 the 250 was announced
Soon after DT released some tests taken indoors in a library
LuLa published a white paper by DT expanding on the tech and why the Phase
was special
I don't know of really any other tests.
Soon word of mouth spread about crosstalk and just how terrible it was and within a week or so, it was just an automatic decision that the 250/150 could not be used in outdoor shooting situations with movements due to crosstalk. But no one every really published anything showing this that I am aware of, if so please point me there. Crosstalk effects all sensors, or at least most of them, I know it effects the 260, as I can see the effects on blue skies with extreme shifts.
I for one GREATLY appreciate the posts made by Void has made for several reasons. As far as I know his posts and Guy's testing of the Credo 50 are the first ones to show that the 50MP CMOS chips can work with movements past 10mm outdoors. The time he took to both shoot all of this and then work it up into a well written post is commendable.
It has for sure changed my opinion on if I could use a 250 in my outdoor work, with movements.
Again, I find the use of the term "troll" very offensive in this situation and extremely short sighted. This is a public forum about medium format cameras and he has provided nothing but facts, facts that he has backed up with images.
I see the information, I can read it, and make my decision where it matters in my next purchase.
