Phase One IQ260, IQ280, and Achromatic - 11 Things to Know

What about museum quality print of Sandra wearing CI in Carmel T-Shirt?

Well, I would expect that those that spent their Valentine's Day Weekend with Dave Gallagher get a great deal----and a little more love.

:ROTFL: :ROTFL: :ROTFL:

Sorry, I couldn't avoid the CI in Carmel humor! How about, buy the new IQ2 MFDB from Dave, and get the CI in Carmel t-shirt for free! :ROTFL:
 
Hi, is there any information about the handling of the investment protection plan when a IQ 180 was bought within the last year and an upgrade to IQ 280 is planned ?

I think 'wearing' is a relative term. :)

Btw, iso140 base plus 1hrs on the iq260 sounds like a winner for travel to me. Is there a low ISO option too to avoid NDs for us longer exposure folks?

Time to scare myself with the upgrade/cross-grade options for my MFDB menagerie.

Go for the 80MP or the long exposure? Which would be the better selling feature? I think a lot of people will go for the IQ180 if they want the pixel count, since theses are essentially the same sensor. But the IQ260 sounds like a true innovation for people with a hard need.

Which back do you think will maintain their resale value more? ( i know it's still a long way off, but never too early to plan for investment)

i think all the data is not in, but is the base iso of the IQ260 35iso?
coupled with a 1hr max exposure?

i won't go with the IQ280 with a technical camera...

if i was shooting fashion with a DF, i will opt for it...

just a question of needs...

none of them is good in term of resale value... you buy it if you can, and you earn money with it... that's it !

in one hand you have 12 D800
in the other one, only an IQ2
anyway you just need one camera !

that's a shame that i have only two kidneys left ;-)

Base ISO of the IQ260:
- full resolution, normal mode: ISO 50
- sensor+ resolution: ISO 200
- full resolution, long-exposure mode: ISO140

So the 1 hour spec is for ISO140. Pretty impressive compared to a 1 hour spec for the P45+ which is at ISO50.

In normal mode you can get ISO50 for 1-2 minutes (final data on that still coming in). But if you want to do beyond 2 minutes you need to turn on long exposure mode which means raising the base ISO to 140.

Just put in my order for the 280. I know that 260 will be hot in demand but the trade in deal makes Iq280 a better deal if you already own a P65+, a lot better

Thanks for both the humorous and the serious response regarding the accelerometer. A small automatically deployed airbag may not be a bad idea to protect the back from tripod accidents - see recent video posted here a week ago.

Image Quality : 16 bit-Opticolor, 12.5 f-stops, Lens+ technology

Lens+ technology ?
Marketing speak for "we have high quality lens profiles built in to Capture One and Lightroom for automatic correction of distortion, chromatic abberation, blooming, etc".
