HI Jon, thanks for the reply.
Sure, I was aware of the speed I was getting, and it was about 1 frame per second. For me this feels incredibly slow, as I am much more often using a Canon or Nikon that can shoot sometimes more than 10 times faster.
Now I'm not saying that to criticise Phase One in some immature fashion. The images being produced are much bigger of course, and on this occasion I needed that quality, and the camera delivered that beautifully.
I just wondered why it is so slow? Obviously there's a significantly bigger file size is at the root, but is it the data transfer to the storage media? Or the on-board processing of the images? I guess this is actually a pretty obvious question for anyone with a little technical knowledge.
Just wondering if new tech like CFExpress / USB-C might give us a jump in speeds in the near future with the next gen IQ backs, or if it's more likely to be a slower progression (if it's depending on computing power in the back)
Thanks, Clark
