I believe that just as in the Nikon/Canon leap frog game we see Hassy/Fuji compete well; and Sinar/Schneider/Rodenstock remains in the game with both their view cameras and Hy6 not sure how their M is stacking up (probably not well with the S2 coming out). To truly appreciate the necessity of: 1) precision of manufacture of camera components and sensor mounting 2) optical design and quality control required for high resolution, large sensor, digital capture I'll post this link for the third time. I consider this < http://www.josephholmes.com/news-medformatprecision.html> "must read" for anyone seriously interested in state of the art, technically speaking, photographic image capture. It's worth taking the time to download the image files linked in the article to truly appreciate the potential quality as well as the potential fatal flaws. I think it fair to say that the M8 and S2 systems as well as the highest end 24x36 sensor SLR systems must design and manufacture at the same levels of precision to stay in the game.
