In the past, studios would often use Hasselblads. What's the resolution of 2-1/4" sq ? Nearly bought a 2-1/4" sq SLR once too ! It was a bargain price. Oh I was SO tempted. It was a Horseman and took Nikon lenses IIRC. > For cheap and good, a Nikon D60 is hard to beat...bottom feeder dealers go > as low as $350 in the US- I don't consider that expensive at all. The camera > is better than 99.9% of the photogs on the planet...how good is needed? If I had some Nikon lenses I might be tempted. Considered a Nikon F1 once. Have Pentax got an equivalent ? Graham

Mostly, it was around the processor AIUI. There are lots of tiny connections close together. I hear the failure rate went up to an incredible number, the cost of re-dos was very high.
