I guess my question is did they design it to appear new, or did they work on it to make it a better camera? This seems to be a designer's camera, and given other designer's cameras that have hit the market, it might end up being a neat looking design, but not much beyond that. Call me a cynic, but the host of designer cameras like the Pentax K01, Ive's M, Hasselblad Lunar, PowerShot N have proven to be rather disappointing. (Fortunately, most designer cameras never make it out of prototyping--Minotla's Electro Zoom X, for example.) Given this Phase camera should be a working camera, I hope they really worked on its function rather than its style. I really hope they found a good camera design company that it going to address the aging DF+ and bring up to date.Seems to me that they took the design cues directly from the IQ backs. Hardly an organic design but if it works as well as we hope and is easy to hold and use, it can be as FUGLY as it wants IMHO.
Damn, I sure hope not as there goes one of my Volvo's for sure.I was told the new 80MP is a full frame Sony CMOS sensor exclusive to Phase One. I'm wondering how long this exclusivity will run.
