Hi!
I'm planning to take the leap into mfdb photography.
I currently use a 1ds mk II which i plan to keep for some jobs where i need the high iso and speed.
Mostly do studio/on location work with strobes though so i would use the db for about 80% of my current shoots.
I've been qouted a p21+ or a refurb p30 for almost the same price. But i have no clue which one to choose. The newer improved p21+ och the older p30 with higher mpixels?
Will either get the h1 och new phase one camera, haven't decided yet, probably the phase one due to lower price
Any thoughts on this? All comments are welcomed

The + series has very little advantage in file quality against the P (non +) series. A better screen and 1600 Iso in the P30 +. Better noise at hight ISO.
I think both has the same look. Very film like at 400 or 800. Almost same speed. Same crop factot (1,3). If you need the pixels go for the P30. Maybe it has better second hand value too due to the pixel count.
But if 30 Mpx is definitely overkill go for the P21+. Better user experience for sure because the LCD screen of non + series really is a pain. Not that I care so much because I mostly use it for the histogram but a good screen is appreciated.
H series vs Phase camera. PhaseOne without doubt. I've had two H series and it never felt like a real camera. Loved the quality but hated the prices, the accessories options and the user experience.
At a glance, if you can't afford the P30+ I think I'd go for the p21+ with a PhaseOne camera.
Hope it helps.
