PENTAX Imaging Company has announced it will offer a limited edition 645D camera kit produced to celebrate the PENTAX 645D being named Camera Grand Prix Japan 2011 “Camera of the Year.” This limited edition camera features an elegant, lacquer-finished body. The components of this unique kit that will be available on a very limited basis include:
• PENTAX 645D Japan camera body
• Leather Strap 645D Japan O-ST123
• Body Mount Cap 645D Japan
• Center-Spot-Matte Focusing Screen DS-80
• Specially designed paulownia-wood packaging
PENTAX is planning built-to-order production of this model with a minimum four month delivery period from the date each order is placed.
First announced in June 2010, the PENTAX 645D is a high-performance medium-format digital SLR camera combining super-high-resolution digital images with approximately 40 effective megapixels that offers exceptional reliability and superb operability. The camera was selected Camera GP Japan 2011 “Camera of the Year” for its array of original, outstanding features including a large CCD sensor, and a dependable, dust-proof, weather-resistant body that operates in temperatures as low as –10°C
Magnum photographer Alex Majoli took the new Leica M9-P on a journey through Venice. Alex Majoli accompanied one of the around 700 gondolieri for several days and captured a sensitive portrait of the gondolier and his city. Here is a behind the scenes view of Alex’s journey through Venice.
CCD vs CMOS sensor is a big issue, What wikipedia and Howstuff Work says about CCD vs CMOS Sensor, Read the summary given below
CCD sensors create high-quality image with low-noise. CMOS sensors, traditionally, are more susceptible to noise. CCD have better light sensitivity compared to CMOS, CMOS traditionally consumes less power.
The main difference in CCD and CMOS
CCD sensors typically produce less NOISE
CCD sensors typically are more light-sensitive;
CMOS sensors use far less power (up to 100 times less);
CMOS sensors cost less to produce.
Mode of Operation / Working Principle
A CCD image sensor is an analog device. In a CCD sensor, When light strikes the chip every pixel’s charge is transferred through a very limited number of output nodes (often just one) to be converted to voltage, buffered, and sent off-chip as an analog signal. All of the pixel can be devoted to light capture, and the output’s uniformity is high, as a result the overall image quality is high.
In a CMOS sensor, each pixel has its own charge-to-voltage conversion, and the sensor often also includes amplifiers, noise-correction, and digitization circuits, so that the chip outputs digital bits. These other functions increase the design complexity and reduce the area available for light capture. With each pixel doing its own conversion, uniformity is lower. But the chip can be built to require less off-chip circuitry for basic operation.
CCD vs. CMOS in DxOMark Lab
Lecia M9 is a well Known (only)fullfarme camera uses 18 Mpix CCD sensor, It is important to note that Leica is the only brand that still makes cameras with CCD sensors; all other main full-frame cameras have CMOS sensors., DxOMark lab tested the M9 ccd sensor and compared with other CMOS sensor Camera and the result was quite amazing.
Lecia M9 ccd vs Canon 5D CMOS
The Leica M9 provides good image quality for low ISO, but its results for high ISO are weak, with dynamic range decreasing very fast. The Leica M9 achieves the lowest score among measured full-frame sensors.
Lecia M9 vs other Full-frame Sensor Camera
Lecia M9 scores the almost at the last position (just above the old Canon 1Ds) in Full-frame sensor comparison. (see full comparison at DxoMark Lab)
Conclusion:CMOS is a clear winner – There was a time when CCD was the better choice for image quality but the recent development in technology resulted a new and better CMOS sensors with better light sensitivity, image quality, less noise, low power consumption and less cost compared to a traditional CCD sensor.
Sony Developed an new 16.15MP(ICX682SQW) and 10.17MP(ICX688SQG) CCD Image Sensor for Consumer Digital Still Cameras, The 16.15M Sensor Support High-Definition Television (Equivalent to 720/30p) Imaging and Continuous Capturing High-Sensitivity Still Images.
Old Sony CMOS vs. Sony New CCD (16.15MP CCD vs 16.2MP CMOS)
The new 16.15MP CCD will capture 5fps at 4-Megapixels but current Sony CMOS Sensor of same size captures 10fps at 16.2Megapxel resolution.
The New 16.15MP CCD capture 720/30p Video but current Sony CMOS Sensor of same size captures 1920X1080 at 60fps.
A Canon pro DSLR announcement is expected in the next month, according to reports from NAB (thanks) – a suggestion that continuous AF during video was a key feature.
No details as to whether it was 5D3 or 1Ds3 replacement.
Addition of the “Scene Mode” for photographic expression with a difference
The addition of the new “Scene Mode” provides 5 types of mode to expand your photographic expression. Choose from “Soft Focus”, “Cross Process”, “Toy Camera”, “Miniaturize”, and “High Contrast Monochrome”. Simply press the shutter release to take a truly unique shot.
Addition of “Target Follow Function” to AE/AF target movement function
The “Target follow function” is added to the target movement function that locks the exposure or focus on a specific part of the photographic subject. When the camera follows the subject, this function automatically continues to adjust to the target position, so that the subject is in focus at precisely the moment you want to shoot.
“Reset/Cancel” function added for AE/AF target move
By pressing the cancel button during AE/AF target move, the image monitor returns to the central position. When the cancel button is pressed again, the target move mode is cancelled.
“Magnified playback function” added that magnifies the center of the target moved position
When magnifying the playback screen, the center of the position moved to as the AE/AF target can be the center of the magnification
< Enhanced function only for the GR LENS A12 28mm/GR LENS A12 50mm camera unit >
Exposure correction and white balance can be assigned to the zoom button.
In the key custom settings, exposure correction or white balance functions can be assigned to the zoom button.
By half-pressing the shutter button and following the set subject, this function continues to adjust to the subject position so that the subject is in focus at precisely the moment you want to shoot.
Addition of “AF/Target Follow AF” switching function to the Fn. button
“AF/Target Follow AF” is added as one of the functions that can be registered to the Fn (function) 1 or Fn2 button. If the focus method is set to “multi AF”, “spot AF”, or “Target follow AF”, the focus method can be switched between “multi AF” and “Target follow AF”, or between “Spot AF” and “Target follow AF”.
Addition of setting change function to ADJ. lever for scene mode
When shooting in a scene mode such as “dynamic range double shot”, “cross process”, or “high contrast monochrome”, the new function enables the ADJ. lever to be used to change settings such as ISO sensitivity and image quality.
Addition of a selection function to the white balance manual setting capture area
When setting the white balance manually, the capture area used as the standard for white balance can be selected from “Entire frame” or “Spot”.
Electronic level display for self-timer
When using the self-timer, the electronic level continues to be displayed after the self-timer is started.
