Just a side note on tethering with the Surface Pro versus WiFi solutions:....
As a side note – and I know people have said WIFI connections are not so stable in the field – do Hasselblad or Phase allow for WIFI tethering of full resolution JPG or RAW files?....
The Surface Pro runs a full version of Capture One Pro 8, fully tethered, which means being able to view full resolution RAW files at 100% at a double-tap, or up to 400%. Try that with a WiFi jpeg and meet instant Surface Pro envy....
No comparison in terms of performance abilities (without potential WiFi *ahem* issues). I think of it as a "super-extension" of the MFDB screen, but add better 100% Zooming for middle aged eyes. Great Loupe Tool and simply drag with a finger to position over the image, Focus Mask, highlight/shadow sliders approach to check details, and even Live View (vari-ND approach best) with new multiple focus points. All the tools of C1 Pro 8 at at your disposal in the field.
But you do need a USB3 enabled MFDB. I'm not familiar with Phocus' capabilities, but without USB3, venerable H missed the party!
The biggest challenge imho is glare, a difficulty facing any device with a monitor in the field. If anyone discovers a custom fit Surface Pro "hood" that is portable or folds flat----make sure to share it on the Surface Pro thread! http://www.getdpi.com/forum/medium-...o-2-enabling-phase-iq-series-credo-mfdbs.html
