I am considering a blog entitled "New High ISO 20MP, 645 Full Frame Digital Back with High Rez Option". Not really, but considering photographers have for years requested a full frame 645, 22MP sensor that shoots high ISO with a good LCD, why not?
Steve,
You're 100% right 22 mpx that goes to high iso and a readable lcd has been asked for a long time . . . think 2005 . . ., but now Canon did it for a few grand.
This is a whole new world and the professional image making biz can still be very profitable, but it takes a lot of thinking, networking, and maximizing resources in ways we never dreamed of.
All you professional medium format owners out there raise your hands . . . who doesn't own a canon and/or nikon?
I'm glad Phase redid their backs, see it as a positive, but I don't consider it anywhere near a breakthrough, not at 20 to 40 large.
I'm sure you'll sell em, I'm sure a lot of people will rent em', but to invest that amount it takes today comes a big gulp of where it leads you, because remember for about the same price you can get a full blown motion camera and throw a 5d2 into your bag for the stills the client requests.
IMO

P.S. I think I'll do a blog (actually don't worry I'll probably never do a blog cause I don't think anyone cares what I have for breakfast), but if I did do a blog I would call it,
I use to say hold it, now I say rolling . . .speed . . .action.Cut.
