With all due courtesy to the author of this review, I don't feel any value is added by explaining every time that features absent in the H4D are useless. I particularly enjoyed getting told that Nikon or Leica S2 Jpegs are useless except for snapshots, or Pentax'es effects cumbersome to use in the field. I have sold a bunch of fashion magazine shots which were Jpegs, the buyer took the Jpeg instead of the Photoshop Raw conversion, go figure. It's also pretty useful to be able to send a Jpeg shot to someone for instant evaluation of expression and composition. The same goes for black and white renderings which can help during shooting.
As for the images in the review, I don't take portrait shots of someone wearing glasses as usefully descriptive for a pro camera review - as all of us here know if you're serious about portrait or beauty you need to be able to focus on the iris, or at least lashes, and this is what readers of a review want to see, rather than reflections on spectacles.
Oh, and by the way, does True Focus work better than Nikon's movable focus point when on a tripod? I do wonder. Although I am sure that it is a very useful feature, we still have no evaluation of when it works and when it doesn't.
In this age of blogs, everybody is a writer. That doesn't mean that every blog post is worth reading. In fact, I have always found camera brochures and example shots which get posted by Canon and Nikon Hasselbald and Leica impeccably honest and more informative than third party reviews.
BTW, I listened to my local Phase dealer explain to a potential MF customer that "True Focus doesn't work that well". Maybe I should believe him. IMHO Mamiya focus doesn't work that well either, and that's my opinion as a paying customer. My biggest question every time I pick up anything -I mean ANYTHING- other than my Nikon is:
WILL IT FOCUS TODAY ?
