Phase one is a strange company. I have never figured out their closed door policy.
They have be reading these posts in this site and other forums. Great image quality is just part of the total equation. Feature and function are also important. Currently their top back has less features than previous backs and is still buggy at least mine is with the inconsistent frame size being the most current issue. This is the first back I can thing of besides the IQ1 and USB3 support, that has taken this long to stabilize. However the IQ1 was solid at announced and ship date. I feel the 4150 is still really running on a beta firmware based on the issues I still see. And when new features for the 4150 rollout they are veiled in confusion. Example is frame averaging and 16 bit files. That went back and forth for weeks and no one even the dealer channel knew who was on first base.
Dealers are the way Phase One sells but it would not be a bad idea for P1 to consider reaching out to owners of the 4150 with a timeline. They should know 99 percent of them. Based on past P1 products and past announced backs by Sept 2020 the next back should be announced. P1 also does not continue to add features to previous backs once a new product has been announced so this does not leave a lot of time for the fixes.
