Mamiya releases new medium-format digital camera
Mamiya has announced a new medium format digital camera system. The Mamiya DL28 Digital camera system shoots pictures at a resolution of 28-megapixels and offers a variety of professional features previously only found in more expensive digital cameras.
The Mamiya DL28 has a sensor which allows for a pixel size of 7.2 microns, and has a 3.5-inch screen, the largest in the industry.
“The DL28 marries the professionally proven Mamiya camera system to the innovative 28 megapixel Aptus-II 6 Digital Back from Leaf – a system capable of unrivaled performance, image quality and value. The 645AFD III body has a new coreless motor for faster, more accurate auto-focusing and an enhanced interface system that provides total communication between the camera, lens and digital back. The 645AFD III and Leaf Aptus-II 6 Digital Back work as an integral unit so you’ll never miss the action.
With 16-bit capture, 12-stop dynamic range and an ISO range of 50 to 800, the Mamiya DL28 is a full featured professional digital solution that allows photographers to focus on creating the image and not worrying about the technology. The 28 MP back provides raw files of 53Mb, and 16 bit TIFF files in excess of 159 Mb – ensuring that you’ll have the information needed for virtually any size reproduction.”
The camera can be connected to your computer for shooting directly to your hard drive, and the Leaf Capture software allows you to show other (either in your studio or out and about) the photos while you continue shooting.
The Leaf Capture software is almost what sells this camera to me. I love the idea of having a client check out some of my shots while we’re still in the studio working, that way if something needs to be adjusted it can be fixed right then and there while the lights are still on and the model is still ready to go.
Look for the Mamiya DL28 to hit stores in November of this year for a Manufacturers suggested retail price of $14,999.
