Overall Impression

Commenter discussion around the Phase One P25 digital back leans more on questions than firsthand verdicts. Several ask what a digital back is and why it protrudes so far from the body. Price draws scrutiny, with users questioning why the camera is so expensive and noting the price gap between a back-only purchase and a full camera-plus-back kit isn't large, suggesting the back is the costly part. One commenter couldn't find an adapter to mount the digital back on a Hasselblad body. Others ask which software processes files and whether Capture One tethers properly with the P25. One user reported images opening at only around 1000 pixels on a PC, raising confusion about a software or card issue.
