Wow... I wonder how long it takes to write the image to the CF card?

I thought this was a funny "oops" in the article:

The Value Added offer, for an additional US $3,000 provides..

â�� a 3 years warranty
â�� 24 hour replacement service
â�� Capture One Pro software (also supports a wide range of DSLRs)
â�� A 1MB CF card
â�� Free exchange of the back for another of the same type, but for a different camera model, within the first year
â�� free installation and training

Sounds like complete overkill. Also I hope it transfers very fast directly to a computer... using CF cards with this would be a joke.

These are mostly used when directly plugged into a computer aren't they? Not really the portable things in the world :P

everything is nice but the sync speed will probobly be like 1/100th of a sec

Fully portable Medium Format back...like any Medium format system with a film back.

yes... Anybody that can afford these cameras can afford the 8gig CF cards you need to get a few shots off...

How often in a studio would you need more than that? Almost never.

What if you want to do those studio shots with people jumping etc stuff like that? youd have to have it be like completely dark so its just the strobes that light the scene, if any ambient leaked in at 1/100 you might have some problems no?

most light in a studio setting won't affect the strobes at all.
