had a demo on the emotion75...never went past 100asa (never really need it)...very smooth files, great resoution, bla bla bla...exactly what i expected...the phase, leaf and sinar backs produce absolutely great files...i have had a demo on the imacon as well and that was the only one i have to put in a slightly lower league..very slightly...
back to the emotion: nice layout, very nice screen, bigger then expected, not like the leaf of course, but brighter and more useable then both leaf and phase...solid menus...the real surprise was the software...very simple but efficient with a simple and good browser, drag&drop interface, controls where you want them, speed was fine on a G4 powerbook (not sure if they have a intel version yet) but they are coming out with a completely new version for photokina...the rep was mentioning live video as well (not sure when that will make it...)
anyway the back looks like a very solid product and with the trade in deal right now it is 20% cheaper then the aptus 75 or P45...the buffer feature is great, not sure if the new S-Aptus line will use it like the emotion as well, but the option to shoot everything to buffer and CF card provides instant back-up which could come in handy at one point...
