Hi everyone,
I was wondering, since Mr. Jannard and company has decided to grace us with a ground-breaking camera; at a price discount ratio of somewhere between 10:1 to 20:1 --depending on which camera you're looking at. When all this craziness subsides: how about attacking the digital back field.
Right now my favorite, Phase One P45, sets you back $30,000, and the cheapest PhaseOne is, I think, $16,000. Put those numbers against your revolutionary price ratio and your blazing R&D speed; I could be shooting digital with my 4x5 in a year and a half, right? :D
Best regards,
Steve Quinones-Colon

Only one things for sure with this crazy company: Never say never.

That is something that constantly amazes me... my first digital back, 4 megapixels, cost me $18K. same with my 22 megapixel back many years later. now I have a 39 megapixel back at $29K. They seemed expensive at the time but paid for themselves many times over. RED One is an unbeliaveble bargain ! I would be an idiot not to buy one or two.
