Well I work with the Phase One DF and the Mamiya RZ67PRoII.
Well ok the RZ is old.... but the DF is more accurate with it's focus than my 5DMKII but slower that's true.
In the end I really don't care about the age of the machine, if the images are good why more "flash".
Apple understands, kill flash
(yeah that was a joke, or at least a try)
Maybe I'm a weird guy but I love the RZ, and the DF is a beast of a camera which I also love to handle.
And to be honest I don't think the DF is 10 years behind the DSLR, it's a different system but it's VERY accurate when compared to my 5D but much slower, that's true but in my work speed is relative.
One thing you might not think about but I can shoot in continues mode (app 1 frame a second) and my strobes keep up, the model keeps up and the HDD keeps up, or in other words I have a great workflow to push my model to perform better. With the 5DMKII I will have to focus recompose (or use manual focus) because the frame rate is to high to get a model in the groove and my strobes to keep up for a minute or so.
At the end of a set we always do a few frames (up to a minute) of continues moves, with the 5DMKII my buffer is full after 20-30 frames, my MF is going till my HDD is full
Again, horses for course, love both, use both, can't miss either one.
But for me TOTALLY different systems which can't be compared like some people do.
