Bill,Bill,
As a personal favor, I'll happily fly up to Toronto and pick up the IQ3 100 for you and break it in for you. When you get back any teething issues with that back will be sorted out between me and your dealer and you'll have a rock solid field tested/hardened back when you return.
Sharpness is lacking in the upper left and right corners, OK in upper center.I did a test flight with the newly purchased IQ3 101 , XF and different lenses: 80LS, 110LS, 150LS, 120 Macro, 240LS
It was a very small helicopter (Robinson R44) which produce lots of vibrations. I'm happy to report that I managed to get sharp Images from any of those lenses.

The subject does not matter, the idea was just to test the equipment.
Sorry, no model right in the middle of the frame with an awesome makup, the latest profoto and with 100% crop on the eyes ;-)
The helicopter was flying at about 80kts while I took this shot. (1 door off)
No processing, just levels adjustment, otherwise standard settings (capture one 9.02), exported as Tiff 16 bit Profoto, saved as JPEG Quality 8 (sRGB, 8 bits)
I am surprised that no one is interested in this rumor after all.Thanks for attaching other posters opinions from the forum about the business side of photography sales. Its a bit of a let down since you do so well with providing your own research and data in regards to digital photography technology.
I don't disagree or agree with you. You are entitled to your opinions. I am so very sorry you felt personally attacked. You must have missed this part of my post.
"Thank you for taking your time and effort......."
It was not my intentions to ruin your day.
Maybe folks are actually out taking pictures with the camera they have?I am surprised that no one is interested in this rumor after all.
Perhaps. I have been mostly away from keyboard for a couple of weeks so I have little clue about what's going on. If Pentax does put that sensor into a new 645 body then gg to those existing MFDBs.Maybe folks are actually out taking pictures with the camera they have?
When Pentax released the 645Z the pace at which we sold Team Phase One 50mp backs increased. So my guess is if Pentax releases a 100mp version of its system it would be a net positive for Phase One.Perhaps.

Perhaps. However I still stand with my original opinion that if the day of Pentax 100 MP comes, then almost all current MFDBs (with the exception of the 100 MP CMOS from PhaseOne/Hasselblad) could drop value drastically.When Pentax released the 645Z the pace at which we sold Team Phase One 50mp backs increased.

I think there is already too much rumor and conjecture on the forums as it is, imho.I am surprised that no one is interested in this rumor after all.

Yup, it will wipe the floor with everything, unless of course you want leaf shutters, the option to use on a tech cam, the form factor of the S or to use C1, but apart from that, it will brilliant. Why does this feel like a sketch from Monte Python?? Yes, but apart from that, what did the Romans ever do for us?! Haha!Perhaps.

I could buy that new Pentax and all their good digital lenses for less than the $26,000 it would cost to upgrade my IQ180. Not only that but I'd still have the IQ180 !
Exactly. People can choose to get rid of previous products asap to minimize financial loss due to depreciation, or to carry on enjoying what they already have.What we can all bet on is that all the major players (save Leica) will be using the same 100mpx sensor in due course, maybe earlier than first predicted. For those that are "in the game" it's a good time to be a photographer.
