I have an H4D 60 on order, but the new 40 has got me wondering. I have an H3D II 39 now and the 60 is a because I can thing rather than any necessity. I also have an A900 with Zeiss glass which I use mostly for people shots, particularly grandchildren.
While having time to ponder before the 60 arrives, it appears that the 40 has a lot to offer. It can do 4 minutes, good ISO 800, and with a 100 could probably beat the A900 with an 85 hands down.
I can buy the 40 for a bit more than the 60 upgrade so I would then have one body that can do long exposures and high ISO and another that would produce better image quality with less flexibility. I would then be able to sell the A900 and end up with a single system, and a backup body.
I have yet to touch a 40 but the image quality looks great at high ISO. I would welcome your thoughts.
