How is that guy financing these videos?
I mean: producing this kind of videos does not come for free. One needs 3 of the most expensive cameras on the market (plus the lenses, strobes, etc...). Just renting this for a day will set you back a few hundreds. In addition, one needs video cameras, a full video crew, studio and lights, editing facilities, etc... Furthermore, there is a whole series of them. He is more quiet now, but at the time this video was produced, he produced them on a regular basis.
I don't see an obvious way to monetise that work either. Youtube adverts do not seem to be switched on. There is a link to his photo site, but I do not see how that is going to bring in customers. He also does not seem to have a blog where the people watching the video would read further content.
I am sorry, but this has fake written all over it.
Ken, you really should visit Hong Kong. Plenty of... Interesting names there.Is that his real name? Really?
C'mon, and I thought my real name was bad....

I agree. I saw this video about six months ago, before I sold the Phase and bought the Pentax.Hi Synn,
Thanks for sharing. I have just skimmed it but it seems to be a lot of relevant info.
I would say, if you you use outdoor flash the leaf shutter cameras are helpful. If focal plane shutter is no limitation the Pentax 645Z is a nice option.
Best regards

I'm new to MFD as well as is my Phase One IQ250 to me which I must say the ability to synch up to 1/1600 is REALLY nice! The more I use it the more I love this system!Hi Synn,

That is a compelling argument for the Pentax. Part of the reason I bought it.We are all partial. I sold my Phase also before buying the 645Z.
Just ask you to read MR's LULA review in September 2014 where he compares 645Z, Hasselblad and Phase units with same Sony 51MP sensor.
Silky Pix is so terrible that I honestly don't think it's worth it for them to sink R&D money into it. I have absolutely no complaints about using LR for 645Z files, although being able to go back to C1 would have been ideal. Most other RAW converters that have quality on par to these packages are fairly complex to use, Irident Developer lacks a GUI except for a single window with a billion settings on it, at least it did last time I used it.I have read it and the Pentax is indeed the best choice for a lot of people.
Personally, I am happy with my CCD back and theflexibility that the modular system and leaf shutter lenses offer, but that is besides the point of the thread.
On topic though, I hope Pentax improves their RAW software. Probably not to C1P levels, but at least as good as Phocus. This is one complaint that the reviewer int he video raises and a valid one. ACR/ LR works, but not the best choice for anyone looking to get the best quality out of their images.
