Your camera has so much more resolution than what I captures on 99.9 % of my photography. I love the new stuff but artistry beats technology every time. Upgrade if you wish, but work on composition and best practices first. Good luck. One more thing, Tareq. Your camera has so much more resolution than what I captures on 99.9 % of my photography.

I plan to create very large exhibition prints so the higher resolution cameras make sense for that application. Unless you plan to use multiple bodies, the only argument that matters against the Hassy is that you have to buy a new camera for each upgrade where with the Phase One, you can keep the same body. You could shoot with the Phase body most of the time and use view camera lenses on other cameras for the highest resolution of all, with no automatic features and no autofocus.

I am not sure if i should be happy with my Haaselblad H3DII-39mp as many saying it is a closed system [can't change the digital back], so is it a bad choice then? As i bought it, that 50mp was available, and soon the H3DII-60mp will be available as well, oh no, now that 39mp is not much. Hi Art,

I would've never thought I'd be so lucky to actually see you there get to chat for a bit. For being such an icon and big name in photography, you sure were welcoming and down to earth. Not that I expected something else... I'm just sayin... :) We'll definitely invite you down to our photo gallery in Hood River when we get it going, hopefully within the year. We were more inspired today than ever before to get the gallery going after seeing your work. Incredible stuff! Tomorrow we're off to Thailand/Cambodia for a month, with our two new 5D Mark2's in hand... can't wait! We'll hope to see you again soon.

Too bad you couldn't lease it for a couple of months. That does sound like a very impressive piece of technology. Too bad you couldn’t lease it for a couple of months.

With your current camera and lens' you don't need to goto this back... although I understand your temptation and you only live once :). The P65+ looks amazing, 60 MP, full frame you would need a faster computer and much, much more drive space. I was always a fan of David Muench and Tom Till large format images, when you see them in large print its so breathtaking.
