For what it is worth, I have in the end selected the H6D-100c over the IQ3-100.
The main reasons being:
- much lower real world price for the system here in Japan. Especially taking into account discounts and mint second hand lenses. P1 ends up being almost double,
- True focus. Coming from a D810/D5 I expect focus accuracy anywhere in the field,
- Shooting experience of the body. Much better match to my hand, lighter and less obtrusive, better touch UI also IMHO. I just don't see myself shooting an XF outside the studio,
- Better compromise between lens price/weight/performance. The recent Schneider are probably a bit better optically, but their price and weight is getting a bit ridiculous. I used to shoot with an H1 and loved the look of the lenses.
Had they been the same price I would probably have gone P1 since I like C1 Pro and know it well, but since I can buy a pretty nice car on top of my Hassy for the price of the P1 system I'll make do with Phocus 3 that isn't as bad as some make it to be.
Cheers,
Bernard
