I couldn't agree more (and I also agree with the bit of your post I cut out, by the way.) Having good waist level finder with relevant readouts is one thing, but relying on using wifi to a cell phone to use it is madness in my book. For one, the battery life will be crap, not to mention the constant drop outs and freezes that plague wireless interfaces.With you guys the phone makes no sense when you have live view right on the LCD of the back. Wifi is something I would NEVER depend on as a working Pro. PERIOD
Sorry this is another gimmick that cost a **** load of money. I love the Credo 50 and equivelent CMOS backs now and what would stop me from just using a Alpa TC or Cambo compact with a lens and the backs live view. Nothing.
The marketing opportunity.I'll ask this - what am I missing here?
I'd take my handles in carbon fiber... If I were in the market for such thing as this.Um, Will. This is still an Alpa, and you know those fancy wood handles are mandatory...

Hi Paul -My error.
Only seems to work with the 50mp backs however per the notes on the Apple Store. Very cool indeed.
How is the image review at 100%?
Better than VR 1.5?

To me at least, it makes a lot of sense when used with the IQ250. I can't see it making much sense at all as waist level EVF for the CCD backs though - I agree with you there.Where is anyone going with this iPhone Holder thing?? Its really just an expensive gimmick that only had use with the P40/45+ series backs. Those backs didn't even offer composition on the LCD so the iPhone made some/not much sense. As for a waist viewing device I'm even more perplexed! Who would ever consider using an IQ260/280 for a handheld waist level camera? There are so many other inexpensive alternatives available that shoot at clean ISO levels that its just nuts!! Let see..... ISO 50, f11.... what kind of shutter speed does that equate to? Makes no sense to me.... I won't even consider handholding under 1/500 second. This whole A series system is kinda reminding me of the Hasselblad Lunar thing....

+1 +1I wouldn't however agree with your 1/500th comment - with lenses in at the wide end, 1/100th is perfectly doable, and I know Bryan Seibel has commented in the past about how he has had success with exposures much, much longer than that.
With the CMOS chip my 35mm XL turn into a 'real' 35mm focal length. I don't know how steady you are but I have learned that 35mm focal length needs at least 1/200 shutter speed. My 60mm turns into an 80mm and at that point I set the shutter at 1/500 and work with ISO. Its really kind of a moot point for me because I don't shoot my Apla hand held. I did try it on my recent trip to Ireland..... I set the back to 0 latency and used just the finger shutter release on my 35XL. Sure, it worked but it was very clumsy. That's why there's all these choices. The WIFI feature is a lot of money more than the Leaf 150..... I mean a lot of money more! I find the LCD to be so workable that I can't imagine an iPhone holder which creates more bulk and weight. Horses for courses.....I wouldn't however agree with your 1/500th comment - with lenses in at the wide end, 1/100th is perfectly doable, and I know Bryan Seibel has commented in the past about how he has had success with exposures much, much longer than that.
