[QUOTE="rcflyingaddict, post: 13201, member: 2417"] Interesting point ... Back in the day I used to be on a first name basis with a Clide at 420 9th Ave, New York, NY (B&H Photo). My amateur photography hobby led me to stop over in NY any time I was crossing the country for business travel after the latest glass/gear and led to spending way too much on Phase One gear but that's another story. I picked up my P4P in the quest for a bit better glass,,, I like the 20mp for still but I find I like my P4P the least (it's only 1 week old LOL). I think the P5X or MP2 (not MPP) that has form factor of MP with optics of P4P or better will be the ticket. Today is a good example where I was in the hills with a bit of wind and still testing my Spark. I took the P4P up a few hundred meters and noticed that it was struggling in the wind (was not more than 20 gusts and it came over a ridge so there would be no wind then gust). Took my MP up in same conditions and it held like a rock, even when coming up the same ridge. P4P is a lug gable and I'm willing to lug it if it performs better than the MP in 'all ways' but I am finding that it's only marginally better optically (for my uses) and all other areas it's just not as good (again for my uses).
