Things we want

Cheaper than a full Avid setup.
Hasselblad make a number of different digital backs, of course you can just take them off and load your favorite 120 film etc which is nice. The H1D seems to be a more intergrated package, I'm not sure if it *can* take film. Leaf have been making incredible MF Digital backs for a number of years, the coolest thing is the PDA you get with it which gives you a copy of each pic wirelessly almost as soon as the shutter shuts. Personally I don't know if I'd want clients that close during a shoot but still very cool. Leaf backs alone go for 25k+ but in the kind of shoots that gear gets used that's around the operating cost for a full day on location anyway. The latest leaf ones are 17 and 23mpx.
