WORLD AS WE KNOW IT..
.. may be ending soon? well, at least that is the topic of the day in photography forums on the world wide web. May be the announcement of the One-D-s-Mark-3. Medium format owners are being reduced to a "green zone" where "only we can have" 16bits and "the 3D effect"
My back has worked flawlessly for a year now and I'm happy that only spent 14k for a 63mb file/per shot back, and I traded my RZ and some view camera optics for a set of 4 AF Mamiya lenses. But some may have spent $40k for a similar set up !
I think that the decision -in my case- to go MF is yet a valid one, I have some small advantages.
The new Canon will be $8k, I paid $14 (advantage: bragging to client /disadvantage: maxed up cc)
I can mount the back on a view camera (the Canon has PC lenses available)
View Finder is larger (twice the size of Mk3, just comfort advantage)
Super reliable thetered shooting (Canon may be not the best for this)
16 bits and 3D effect (difficult to metrix this, but sounds good to have)
PhaseOne C1 software (nice)
Better resolving power of MF Mamiya optics (to be compared after the release of Mk3)
Available back that are more than 22mp for future upgrades
ah I almost forgot: the sensel size in the P 25 is much larger than that of the Canon (even larger than that in a PhaseOne P45 etc) That may count for something. After all some point and shoot have 10MP pixel count, no?
ok, I feel better now
