LOL I am still confused All I want is to make sure that the images I take will produce the best possible image on print whether it be now or 5 years later when the printing technology gets better. As someone pointed out, you only get one shot for when that moment happens and for when you were there to take the shot. I just want to make sure that my recording is done in the best possible way and captured by the best possible technology available today.
You can look at this from both additive and substractive standpoints.
On the plus side, the P65+ certainly offers the best single frame image quality in the world right now.
On the negative side:
- Perfect focus in the field is not always easy (depending on what camera you will use the back on),
- The Rugdness of the system, battery life,... make it less usable in the wild (like the real wild at -10C without power plugs for a few days),
- MF has less DoF than 35 mm which is mostly a problem for landscape,
- You are much more limited in terms of focal lenghts,
- The gap of image quality is small compared to the best DSLRs (how small will not be settled unless somebody does a pixel peeping type of comparison),
- There are much cheaper ways to achieve much higher resolutions as soon as stitching is considered a valid technique,
- ...
Finally, and most importantly, what works for me and my applications will probably not work for you so trying out the systems yourself is key.
