Quote: Could be a 'Blad I suppose, or the new Phase One/Mamiya thingy.
It will be a camera tested by the EISA members, which includes us. It has to have been tested by at least 10 of the 16 magazines on the Photo Panel - so a 'blad or digital back is unlikely. The nomination and voting process takes place in June - so don't look too far ahead. All you have to do is look at the professional cameras we've tested in the last 8-9 months and guess what might be coming between now and May to see what will be in the running.
Also remember that loads of people will think the competition too stiff - which means you have a better chance of winning. Many of the EISA magazines don't have reader submissions as good as those we get in AP. Judging from the standards in the monthly competition here I'd say you all have a very good chance.
