If this is correct, my interpretation is:
“This really is a £2000 camera, you should judge it as a £2000 camera and compare it to £2000 cameras but owing to our engineering difficulties, it’s going to cost you £6,000. Sorry about that.”
So we are back to: who will buy a camera that is 3 or 4x over-priced owing to engineering problems. It was never meant to be a MF or D3x competitor, yet it ends up going up against them.
Dead in the water, surely?
