If the only business model the MFD makers have is roll out another megapixel upgrade every 12 months and halve the value fo the previous top end camera every 12 months- good luck and bye bye.
This simple point has been made over and over again - but then again rocket scientists don't run these companies - a bunch of B grade marketing egos do. Dont worry about the brand name - the rabid clawing for dollars is disgusting. If you want to laugh- try pricing a step up ring from Hasselblad so you can use a Proshade on your lenses - three rings and a proshade for > $1000 Aussie + Taxes!! I mean what a BIG FAT JOKE
these companies are digging their own graves...
Sinar artec @ Aussie $20K body and one lens? - yeah sure ..you got My dollars - NOT.
Seriosuly FUNNY know reading that Phase One is LEADING the discount WAR ( the new high ground??) - and therfore ? umm therrefore what? exactly?
How about trying to buy a lens shade for a Rollie lens - MAN THAT is HILARIOUS close to a 700 bucks Aussie for a 180 lens shade? How about this? $700 for a freakin release cable for Hy6????
This is very very very sad and kinda darkly funny at the same time.
Or trade in your $100 flatbed you have propping up your old BBQ and you get a $3000 rebate on an X5 scanner - I mean - how about a FAIR price all the time - and NO GOUGING ALL THE TIME!!
These clowns in all MFD companies are totally clueless and could care less about their users.
