Hi Guy,
I don't think so, but could be wrong. I spoke to dealers and researched (albeit briefly), and those two factors were confirmed. They did say that a fix may come down the line for the WB during LV thwartage.
Also, I haven't researched yet, but we were having difficulty shooting while in LV. I hope that's just a lack of knowledge on my part.
Focus assist in C1-v8 was a delightful surprise, I like it more than focus mask only in the IQ.
We are a very "large screen projection" dependent studio, having pioneered many of the implementations of the techniques for our clients over 10 years ago. (Just in time for my doctor telling me the warranty on my eyesight had expired
I will try and cross post this info on your review site. Just going in for round two today, I wish I could dedicate a whole day or more to testing but it's just not in the cards for me.
Absolutely buried here. I really appreciate the review you did, Guy. It is a ton of work, I know!
First thanks for the compliment , yes they are hard to do and also do correctly without any bias either way. My goal always when doing them is give as clear a picture of what one may consider a purchase and at these price categories you never want to steer people wrong. I do like the Credo 50 and I'm actually quite surprised that I do because I had a bias ( negative that is to CMOS) but that was 35mm , this is a far different ball game.Hi Guy,

None of the experts addressed this question yet! From the spec it is obvious that there is a difference, however in reality, materials for both the bodies looks very identical [except Credo 50 doesn't have any buttons].Doug,
Is the operating temperature range another difference?
IQ series:
Leaf Credo: 0°–40°C (32°–104°F)
Humidity: 15%–80% (non-condensing)
Thanks,
Steve.

That is easy, but can you please explain technically what are the components determines temperature ratings of MFDB and why there is a difference between Credo 50 vs IQ150?Please check the datasheets on IQ2 series digital backs | Specifications, IQ series digital backs | Specifications and Leaf Credo Medium Format Digital Backs
Having been hiking all winter with a Credo 50 here in NH and battling 20 degree F or below temps, I can say that from my hands on experience, it doesn't seem to be all that bad. Definitely not unusable. As always, it's the batteries that suck in cold temps. I summitted Mt. Tecumseh last weekend and was swapping batteries from armpit to camera every two minutes or so. Stupid chemistry...science needs to match my hopes/dreams! Hah!It's funny having now owned 3 different Phase backs I am surprised to see the 32 F degree spec on low end. Phase has shown at least one video where they took a P45 from a freezer so that was below freezing.
In my work I have often gone way below 32. And in the summer I feel the back easily can exceed 104. If I am out on a 95 degree day in Arkansas the back will get over 104 degrees. The back is black thus absorbs heat. During the summer I tend to turn the back off quite often to help keep the temp down.
I would say however those published specs are very conservative and that surprises me.

Doug, will this credo come in Hy6 mount? considering DHW just went belly up?
