160 Megapixel Camera from Seitz




This odd-looking camera that looks like a cross between a vintage and modern version captures odd-sized pictures at an incredible 160 Megapixels.

Don’t look for this one at your local Best Buy. It’s for specialty photography and the prices for a kit can go as high as $40,000. Notice how the grip ergonomics have been worked out to help keep a firm hold on this expensive beast. It’s MUCH bigger than your average point and shoot, at 6 x 17 inches. One full resolution image taken with this camera at 48-bit colour depth will take up 900 MB of storage space!

Obviously it takes some massive memory to use this camera. It can also be operated remotely using a PDA. If you take photography this seriously, you may be forced to sell your home to keep snapping pictures.

With the revolutionary Seitz 6x17 Digital you can:
Create a high-resolution (160 million pixel) 6x17 digital scan in just one second
Capture action thanks to a minimum exposure speed of 1/2000 sec. (per pixel) - images full of speed, motion and life!
Benefit from an outstanding image quality in virtually all light situations:- 16-bit per channel (48-bit RGB) colour depth- anti-blooming- low noise- dynamic range of 1:2,600 (11 f-stops)- Seitz image optimisation algorithms
Use world-class large format Schneider or Rodenstock lenses - or reuse your existing set of lenses
Process a high-definition high dynamic range panorama directly in the RAM of the computer (single-pass, multi-pass)
Use a very user-friendly software with very advanced features
Take advantage of the latest technology in tablet PCs for image control, display and storage
Remove the Seitz D3 digital scan back and use it with the Roundshot D3, the Alpa family of medium format cameras (Alpa 12 SWA, WA, TC, XY) or with other medium or large format cameras (in the future)
