Hacking Photography - one Picture at a time
There have been rumours for a while now about a new ultra-high megapixel mirrorless Canon camera being released. It’s now looking highly likely that this will be the case, with a launch of a 100MP RF mount camera in the first half of 2023.
At the moment it’s still conjecture, and no one knows which camera line it will be following. There’s speculation that it could be a mirrorless equivalent of the EOS 5DS or indeed it could be the much-anticipated successor to the EOS R, the R1.
Fuji’s new GFX 100 is here, and it’s a big looking beast of a camera. It’s a 102-megapixel camera with a 43.8 x 32.9mm BSI CMOS sensor. We don’t know if it’s the Sony IMX461, but if it is, it should show some excellent high ISO performance and increased colour accuracy.
The GDX 100 shoots video, too, offering 4K DCI and UHD up to 4:2:0 10-bit internally or 4:2:2 10-bit externally over HDMI. It also has an F-log gamma setting to maximise dynamic range and give more grading options in post. Oh, and it has 3.76 million phase detection AF points.
Will 100MP become a new standard in photography? According to details that were recently leaked about a new sensor from Sony, we’re getting there. Sony is reportedly developing a full-frame sensor which will shoot 102 MP photos and 6K videos. It will be available in consumer cameras, both by Sony and those from other manufacturers.
Phase One has today announced their new IQ4 camera system; Successor to its already very impressive IQ3 camera system. The IQ4 is built on Phase One’s new “Infinity Platform”, the basis for which was introduced with the XF camera body in 2015. Essentially a modular system, allowing you to upgrade different components as necessary.
The new IQ4 series comes with three cameras, the XF IQ4 150MP camera, the IQ4 150MP Achromatic and the IQ4 100MP Trichromatic, each offering their own distinct advantages. And before anybody says anything… Yes, they have dual card slots.
Hasselblad has announced the latest innovation in their range of aerial cameras. They have introduced their latest model, Hasselblad A6D-100c, a 100MP medium format aerial camera. It’s built upon its previous models, but with improved features and higher resolution.
Kicking off 2016 with a bang, Phase One announced a new 100mp full frame 645 medium format sensor.
The sensor was designed together with Sony, and will be used in the new 100MP Phase One XF camera system.
No to be confused with the standard full-frame sensor, this one got its name simply as it’s not a cropped 645 sensor. Don’t worry about mixing them up, though, as the price will quickly remind you this is a medium format camera.
