>What movements have an F5 or Hasselblad got perchance?

I have three Hasselblads, including a Flexbody, which has limited movement. 
Hasselblads are, of
course considered to be professional cameras, (particularly) by the wedding/portraiture
professionals� and yes as a professional studio camera. I admit to being biased, but I 
hope to
specialise in the type of photography that cannot be done with DSLRs.

I have been looking for a compact camera, but AFAIK there is not a pro compact camera 
on the
market � meaning one with remote flash and remove (electrical) trigger sockets � 
please tell me if
there is one� consequently I have been thinking about getting a DSLR � and the DCS is 
currently at
the top of the list. I admit being biased in that almost all the equipment I have is 
European.

I am busy trying to sell my old house, get my fianc�es house ready for sale, and sort 
out our my
new house. When I have sold my house I will have the money to buy a camera, and the 
time to use
it.

A DigiBack on the back of a Hasselblad might produce similar results to a DCS, but the 
DigiBack
kit might look more impressive to most clients... without movements.

I seek technical happiness as well as creative happiness, and I hope and expect to use 
my DigiBack
with my Sinar and Hasselblad equipment � I bought the Sinar for movements rather than 
resolution.
