Cool, but for that money no thanks.

Get old Kodak 645 or SLR/n if you want some insane colors. :D

Bro, difference isnt just sensor (its not barely bigger, but quite a bit). Most important parts are processing, CFA and last but definitely not least. TEH LENS.

Especially in Hasselblad case, its...

There are people that do. A900 is still very fine camera, if you can live with noise floor.

In print, it can be used. You can squeeze some data even into 8-bit JPG, its about what you can do with those RAWs, which "lesser" raws just dont allow.

Reason why some MF backs had 16-bit depth...

Hm, problem is that most cameras actually dont have enough data to fully use those 14-bits.

Btw. the point about 14-bits (when actually available) isnt that you can push shadows more, or to bring...

Price difference of what you mentioned makes it no contest.

Leica lens would probably win (if there was decent sensor and CFA behind).

Thinking GFX has best colors from current (and past) cameras. That thing is worth every penny.

Lens too it seems.

Hm, for Zeiss it would be like life long achievement. :D

Wow, S5 Pro colors.. never thought I will see them again.

Yea that happens if you cant really make new tech for CMOS. Or dont want to.

Also sensor was made by Kodak and its CFA is close to Kodak own cameras and Leica DMR. If I dont mind IR problems (fixable) then it produced really nice colors.

Couple of maybe interesting thigs about NX10..

- sensor inside is same as used in Pentax dSLRs (K20D or GX20D (so it was far from new)

- its sorta hybrid between CCDs and CMOS, not just regular...

Far from it.

You can extract some pretty strong magic from M8, if you know how. Sure its not easy, but then no Leica camera was ever easy.

Also easy cameras somehow rarely produce anything worth...

Its simply more practical that way. Reason why I loved my old KM 7D. No aperture dials on lens tho..

Closest from modern cameras was Samsung surprisingly. Shame they ended it.

Photographers retire from active duty. Then they keep shooting till they die. :D

Unless its rare phenomena of "only shoot for money". But they mostly crap..

Substitute "mediocre" for "old" and you get what I mean.

Also DR of D700 isnt mediocre even today. Neither is color, contrast.. or anything rly. Only department that might be short is mpix count....

IMHO, you should have get better lens. You havent reached maximum possible with D700.

Always invest in lens, body is usually secondary.. (also in fact even most expensive of camera bodies are...

Its beyond impressive..

People that can sell prints for 10.000 USD or more. Its not like they dont exist. There are ppl that sell prints for far more than that.

It will have its very small market.

Like color palette of either author or Hasselblad.
