The system design is better left for extinction since it does not bring anything to the MF format, it is 6x6, when backs are 6x4.5, not cheaper, or lighter. It has no better lenses, but on the contrary, no options for wide angles, and now its survival --this is if it is not completely dead by now -- is in question.
Would you "save" $30k on a bank that is rumored to go under in the near future?
I think you miss some facts here:
- rotating back/sensor: this is really a joy to use
- option to use a real and nice WLF: not everybody needs this option but some do (incuding myself) - and this is only possible with 6x6 (except you only shoot landscape)
- sensors do become larger and if we say there is no 6x6 sensor today-this is today. It might be different tomorrow.
- the SCA system of the Hy6 does work with Metz flash (compared to some other cameras)
- limited wide angles yes, but then there are some very nice lenses like the 110/2.0 for example.
-and then there is the user interface: For sure a question of taste but at least it is a different approach- which -after some days of using it- I really like
-feel-factor: For me the Hy6 is the only actual camera which gives me the "feel" factor of a classical MF camera, again, for sure a very subjective factor
There might be some arguments against the Hy6 (like someone who wants/needs 28mm), but there are some arguments for the Hy6 system which are not offered by any other system today. I would rather make my decision based on the product.
If you personally see a camera as a capital investemnt and make the decision for a camera based on your business-expectations regarding the manufacturer is another question.
