Hi Dheorl -
I've noted your bullet points from your responses through the course of the thread -
*Cheap as possible
*Un-tethered
*(large) WLF Viewfinder
*Fast shutter speeds
*Smaller size (rather than larger)
The one wild card is really quantifying "cheap as possible". Cheap or inexpensive are relative terms, so knowing what
you mean by cheap is a factor.
But, assuming you mean as inexpensive as possible with the other criteria, your options would be:
- Hasselblad H or V or Contax 645 camera platform
Leaf Aptus 17
- Inexpensive, smaller sensor size, limited usable ISO range (slower shutter speeds)
Leaf Aptus 22
- Larger sensor size, limited usable ISO range (slower shutter speeds)
Phase One P21
- Smaller sensor size, expanded usable ISO range (faster shutter speeds)
Phase One P25
- Larger sensor size, moderate usable ISO range
Hasselblad CF22
- Larger sensor size, moderate usable ISO range
Imacon iXpress 132C
- Larger sensor size, limited usable ISO range, requires cabled portable hard drive
Sinar 54LV
- Larger sensor size, limited usable ISO range
The range of positive and negative attributes impact your desires in this manner -
Larger sensor size allows a bigger view in your viewfinder. This also potentially reduces costs for lenses, as you can buy longer - and typically less expensive - lenses for the same coverage that a smaller sensor would provide.
An expanded ISO range would positively impact your shutter speed.
As always, your solution will be the combination of the best compromises.
