Skintones: Aptus 22 / D700 / Film Kodak - Fuji / (P40+) (P45) (P45+) (SAMPLES)

That's true.  The Aptus 12 is pretty slow (The Hy6 itself can do like 3 or 4 frames a second so its just the back).  It is faster than my D4-4800 w/s pack recycle though!    actually maybe faster than the d4-1200 w/s too - and I've never hit the buffer.

It is a trade off on what is most important; image quality or speed? AII 12 has notably higher image quality than AII10, the AII10 is per when I looked at file comparison incremental improvement of the Aptus 65. Aptus 65/75 to AII12 is more significant step up in image quality. Critical is also upgrade pricing between A10 and A12. It is worthwhile to compare both.

The big question: if the current tool works well, why spend extra money??? A new tool does not necessary make any of us a better photographer. It is using a tool we feel comfortable with and command that makes a difference.

You are joking right?

Clearly not, that's why I put a winking emoticon* after my comment.

Well we´re not exactly talking about speed, just to get a rhythm in a shooting. Colorwise I noticed a significant change between the 75S and the AII-10 files, but we still use both backs with good results. I did not look into the AII-12 because of the frame rate, won´t work for us. Also the file size and storage needs is more than enough now. Is there really a big difference in color to the Aptus 10? I always thought it would be negligible.
