I'd love one, but I would not trade my 70D for it. For those really close macros, or ultra-long telephoto shots it would be a whole new level of performance. But, even if it did handle like my 70D the processing power needed to manipulate and store my photos would allow for only occasional use.
But...seriously? Is there a photographer here that wouldn't love to have on just to play with? Imagine the Moon or Saturn or Jupiter photographed from a secluded clear location? I would like to have that!
I admit I am skeptical about performance I have no way of verifying. Especially one involving a company making claims that no independent source is verifying.
For example combination...blah, blah, blah "digital magnification"....
And then that bit about for special surveillance work...Meaning what. Big brother will be using this technology while us common folk settle for much less. I see this as the sorry wave of the future. Just as Adobe, and other software makers dream of a world were only the elite can have full featured programs and the rest of the world can make use with stripped down products. Personally, I hate that. Make the best product you can make and price it for all of your customers. Of course, my philosophy ignores the real world.
Top camera, top software, top education. Just not available for me.
Still, my 70D can do a lot. My Photoshop CS2 can do a lot. And my teacher, "curiosity" sometimes gets me through with a little help from the generous souls out there how share their knowledge.
