I guess everyone's needs are different.High ISO work is IMO not what an MF camera is supposed to be used for anyway. If this CMOS technology offers a better usability for tech camera work it's a benefit. If not I see no real development here...
I've been doing this for six years now and the top three feature complaints I've heard from people who were considering buying a back were:
1) crappy LCD
2) poor ISO performance
3) no live view
Phase One basically eliminated #1 with the IQ series. It's that good.
Phase One improved #2 and #3 with the IQ series. They got good ISO1600 and ok ISO3200, but only at reduced resolution. They got Live View but it's fairly slow, and doesn't handle low or contrasty light very well.
With the 250 #2 and #3 are very well handled.
Anyway, I'm not trying to convince you - if you don't need or care about ISO then it won't mean anything to you. I was just trying to explain why I think I'll continue getting the massive volume of "I'm interested" email that I've seen in the last hour.
