the lenses (especially the schneiders) are better then anything else out there...and they are coming out with a whole new line...there is no system with that many available lenses out there...not even close...
the ergonomics are phantastic..anyone who has ever held a 6008 knows....i just had to shoot with a H2 with the 55-110....whoever designed this camera should be forced to hold it vertical for just 2hours straight....total weight with the lens almost 10pounds, horribly distributed, all held by a smallish grip, you don't know what is worse..holding it grip down and breaking you wrist or letting it hang from your wrist grip up and doing some permanent damage that way....add the mirror slap to it....amazing....i used to get sharp shots handholding a 680GX at 1/15th...with the H2, the 1/125th look a little off....
add to that the 15 lock ups during one afternoon of shooting (grip off, grip on...) and the fact that this camera uses non-rechargeable batteries!!!!! are they nuts?
anyway...i hope the world wakes up and sees that the emperor has no clothes at all...
both contax and mamiya have vastly superiour ergonomics and much simpler, more intuitive controls, the 645afdII better af...combined with excellent glass for both at less then 25% of the price....
the rollei will have no problems taking over from the H1/2/3/4/5 if the (non existend) marketing dept doesn't mess it up....
i mean, a completely new camera that still takes all lenses, finder attachments, even some film backs? and still looks to be the best, most versatile and open digital platform? how can it not succeed?
but i guess judging from the success of the H1, the priorities lie elsewhere...
