Announcing P 65+

World’s First Full Frame 645 Medium Format Camera System and digital back.

The Phase One P 65+ is the first digital back and camera system to take advantage of the new Sensor+ design and is the world’s first full-frame capture system based on actual 645 film format. The P 65+ provides the largest live digital capture area available so far with coverage of 53.9mm x 40.4mm – enabling full viewfinder coverage thus no need for lens magnification. “What you see is what you get.”

Sensor resolution is 60.5 Megapixel with 8984 x 6732 active pixels achieving 180 MB, 8 bit RGB files.

P 65+ digital back and the P 65+ camera system based on Sensor+ CCD technology co-developed with DALSA Semiconductor. The chip platform offers the most demanding photographers upgradeable CCD functions, ensuring a longer lifespan for their digital back investments. Improvements and upgrades based on Sensor+ technology have been designed to enable:

• Scaleable pixel and file size
• Higher sensitivity & dynamic range
• Increased flexibility for operation and capture
• Improved capture rates

More technical details and demonstrations of Sensor+ technology will be available at the Photokina trade show in September 2008. Camera shipments with P 65+ digital back are expected to begin in Q4, 2008.

For a few thousand $ more, you can get this Hasselblad with *only* 39 megapixels http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/produ...d_70390531_H3DII_39MS_SLR_Digital_Camera.html -- in case you want to make "Fatheads" of yourself and perhaps of your fish as well.

I can't imagine what size print you can make with 65 mp - probably the size of a billboard. I'd rather have $40,000 worth of lenses and speedlights personally

A camera is only as good as the person holding it.

I'm sure I could take some pretty crappy photos with a $40k camera.
