Details about Phase One IQ250Questions?I'm glad to answer any questions. I've been in Hong Kong all week and have worked with a production IQ250, spoken to the engineers, and played with numerous raw files.
Feature Length Story ComingI'll also be writing a feature length story for Luminous on the back story of the IQ250, and specifically how they've managed to get such great live view, on the LCD itself, and how they were able to achieve great color using a CMOS sensor.
