Physically the Mamiya ZD looks like a conventional 35mm D-SLR camera and can also accommodate existing Mamiya’s 645AF lenses (which may a least be some cost saving). But it’s the resolution of this beast that made my jaw drop.
22 Mega Pixels means it boosts a resolution of 4008 x 5344 pixels (so 21.418752 Mega Pixels to be exact :)) and it can also capture images at the rate of 1.5fps (frames per second
You can get the images off by connecting using Firewire. I’m guessing they’ve ignored USB 2.0 and concentrated on Firewire for performance reasons. Although technically USB 2.0 is faster (480 Mbp to Firewire’s 400 Mbps) in practice Firewire is significantly faster for sustained data transfer.
* Full lens coverage: The CCD imaging area fits the 6 x 4.5 lens-coverage. Focal length needs minimal conversion, thus lens perspective usage is the same as with film. The 3:4 classic photographic ratio is efficient and minimizes cropping.
* Fast frame rate: The fast capture speed is achieved with a unique DSR technology that doubles the capture rate without sacrificing image quality.
It is very expenssive for the moment . it is about 10,000$. wwwwwwwwow...
The next model which makes us laugh sarcastic is pentax 645 digital
it's only an 18megapixel camera...
