It is appropriate for me to say to both Doug and Steve how much I appreciate their candor and obvious integrity while they both point out the merits of their newest product

The RM2D is no longer available which is a shame as I thought it was a great balance on the flexibility-vs-size/weight spectrum.That was included in the price already
One should probably compare the XT more to the rm2d.
At the end you are correct, it depends on what you need.
Yes we do. Where is my AdHoc Wifi? :ROTFL:The RM2D is no longer available which is a shame as I thought it was a great balance on the flexibility-vs-size/weight spectrum.
In any case, I think we both understand and agree with each other on the points you raised.
I hope when it comes it will have been worth the wait. Every month we both wait is a higher bar they'll have to clear to make that true.Yes we do. Where is my AdHoc Wifi? :ROTFL:
For faster shutter speeds, yes. But over 1s it looks like it reverts to the ES of the back. Since at least half of my exposures are 1s and above and on city streets or in architectural work, I don’t want to use the ES. Really hope that this can be changed in firmware, or maybe that the ES can be speeded up. Copal shutters still have their uses.[*]More capable shutter vs Copal 0 and/or sensor electronic shutter

Might I suggest the Phase One XT Animated Walkthrough. Scroll down own until you see the compendium bellows.I miss the spirit levels.
Did I overlook those very important tools?
Where is the hot shoe or the tapped holes?
I want to mount a flash trigger, a lens shield etc. on the camera.
Regards,

Good catch, all I could find was the shutter speed of the X shutter listed from 1/1000 to 60 minutes, which implies the actual X shutter can handle all those speeds.For faster shutter speeds, yes. But over 1s it looks like it reverts to the ES of the back. Since at least half of my exposures are 1s and above and on city streets or in architectural work, I don’t want to use the ES. Really hope that this can be changed in firmware, or maybe that the ES can be speeded up. Copal shutters still have their uses.
Can you help me understand your need for the X-shutter to be used (rather than sensor based ES) at speeds slower than 1 second?For faster shutter speeds, yes.

That same port is where a cold shoe can be mounted.
DT also makes (exclusively) an alternative compendium mount that doesn’t take up that accessory port. Read more here: https://phaseonext.com/suggested-accessories-for-the-phase-one-xt/

Yes, it does and it’s great feedback. Can I ask if you’ve seen this issue in real shooting or only in theory? If you have some real-world example files to share I think they would create a very compelling case for me to make that the X-Shutter max mechanical time should be lifted to several seconds (after which, statistically, the chance of the roll on/off being a problem would seem to be negligible.Car headlights running from left to right across a frame would be one thing that comes to mind.
I've been trying myself with the ES, but you need to guess when the car is going to enter the frame.
With the X/Copal as soon as you open it it's recording.
Does that make sense?

Why is ES problematic with long exposures and static objects?For faster shutter speeds, yes. But over 1s it looks like it reverts to the ES of the back.
