what?!]]>Oct 21st 2008 7:51PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/21/mamiyas-dl28-digital-camera-system-is-slightly-cheaper-than-you/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/21/mamiyas-dl28-digital-camera-system-is-slightly-cheaper-than-you/
So I guess this is a two-handed model.]]>Oct 21st 2008 7:57PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/21/mamiyas-dl28-digital-camera-system-is-slightly-cheaper-than-you/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/21/mamiyas-dl28-digital-camera-system-is-slightly-cheaper-than-you/Oct 21st 2008 8:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/21/mamiyas-dl28-digital-camera-system-is-slightly-cheaper-than-you/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/21/mamiyas-dl28-digital-camera-system-is-slightly-cheaper-than-you/Oct 21st 2008 8:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/21/mamiyas-dl28-digital-camera-system-is-slightly-cheaper-than-you/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/21/mamiyas-dl28-digital-camera-system-is-slightly-cheaper-than-you/
And given its a medium format, a 3.5" screen sounds about right size-wise

But regardless, Yes, this is a 2-handed model

$15000 may not be "cheap" to most people [Consider a EOS-1dsIII is $7500!] but considering most other medium format digitals are in the $20k+ range last I saw this is a HUGE breakthrough in price terms!

Of course for the time being, film is STILL the way to go for the forseeable future when it comes to Medium Format

Regarding your post on the Canon 5D Mark II, you called it the "Mark 5" which is so not what it's called. And that's why you're an idiot. ]]>Oct 21st 2008 11:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/21/mamiyas-dl28-digital-camera-system-is-slightly-cheaper-than-you/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/21/mamiyas-dl28-digital-camera-system-is-slightly-cheaper-than-you/"5 MarkII... ugh, what is with Canon and these names?"

Realizing I made a goof, I *immediately* posted this amendment. Now you're calling me the idiot in a completely different news post?]]>Oct 21st 2008 11:52PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/21/mamiyas-dl28-digital-camera-system-is-slightly-cheaper-than-you/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/21/mamiyas-dl28-digital-camera-system-is-slightly-cheaper-than-you/
Oh ho ho!]]>Oct 21st 2008 8:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/21/mamiyas-dl28-digital-camera-system-is-slightly-cheaper-than-you/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/21/mamiyas-dl28-digital-camera-system-is-slightly-cheaper-than-you/Oct 21st 2008 8:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/21/mamiyas-dl28-digital-camera-system-is-slightly-cheaper-than-you/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/21/mamiyas-dl28-digital-camera-system-is-slightly-cheaper-than-you/
anyways cool maybe aptus will get it right this time
also check out the Phase One 645afdII it's pretty dope.]]>Oct 21st 2008 8:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/21/mamiyas-dl28-digital-camera-system-is-slightly-cheaper-than-you/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/21/mamiyas-dl28-digital-camera-system-is-slightly-cheaper-than-you/Oct 21st 2008 9:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/21/mamiyas-dl28-digital-camera-system-is-slightly-cheaper-than-you/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/21/mamiyas-dl28-digital-camera-system-is-slightly-cheaper-than-you/
Secondly, the camera is slow, but I doubt it was meant for sports shooters or anything like it. How fast does your camera need to be to shoot landscapes?]]>Oct 21st 2008 8:29PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/21/mamiyas-dl28-digital-camera-system-is-slightly-cheaper-than-you/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/21/mamiyas-dl28-digital-camera-system-is-slightly-cheaper-than-you/Oct 21st 2008 8:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/21/mamiyas-dl28-digital-camera-system-is-slightly-cheaper-than-you/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/21/mamiyas-dl28-digital-camera-system-is-slightly-cheaper-than-you/Oct 21st 2008 8:51PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/21/mamiyas-dl28-digital-camera-system-is-slightly-cheaper-than-you/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/21/mamiyas-dl28-digital-camera-system-is-slightly-cheaper-than-you/Oct 21st 2008 9:04PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/21/mamiyas-dl28-digital-camera-system-is-slightly-cheaper-than-you/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/21/mamiyas-dl28-digital-camera-system-is-slightly-cheaper-than-you/Oct 21st 2008 10:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/21/mamiyas-dl28-digital-camera-system-is-slightly-cheaper-than-you/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/21/mamiyas-dl28-digital-camera-system-is-slightly-cheaper-than-you/Oct 21st 2008 10:32PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/21/mamiyas-dl28-digital-camera-system-is-slightly-cheaper-than-you/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/21/mamiyas-dl28-digital-camera-system-is-slightly-cheaper-than-you/
Screw Hass and Mamiya. Tens of thousands for "financially comfortable" hobbyists? More like "stinking filthy rich" hobbyists.

I've used the Aptus 75S and liked it. The touch screen is a great feature. Too bad it's kinda unresponsive. Leaf makes a pretty decent system though.]]>Oct 21st 2008 11:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/21/mamiyas-dl28-digital-camera-system-is-slightly-cheaper-than-you/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/21/mamiyas-dl28-digital-camera-system-is-slightly-cheaper-than-you/
@Michael, you can now buy a used Hasselblad 501 film camera with a lens for about $500-600 if you look around. Unless you're shooting in a studio with strobes, or maybe doing landscapes medium format digital is too much of a niche. A D50/1D MkIII/5D MkII, D300/D700/D3, or even an old hasselblad loaded with film is a lot more versatile. I use a H3DII-39MS for work, but it's not what I would carry around to shoot with, even if I was obscenely rich. If you're using medium format digital, 98% of the time you're going to either be using strobes, locked to a tripod, or both.]]>Oct 22nd 2008 10:34AM
