Phase One has announced what they are calling, “a bold new generation of medium format digital camera backs” with the introduction of the Phase One IQ180, IQ160 and IQ140 digital camera backs that feature maximum resolutions of 80, 60.5 and 40 high quality megapixels respectively.
“This series sets new standards for medium format camera system handling and performance,” the company explained. “I am amazed by the image quality I’ve gotten ‘out of the box’ with the Phase One IQ180 on the Phase One 645DF camera. I can create images with more detail and unique looks than with any other camera out there. It helps me develop styles unique to me,” lifestyle photographer Jens Honoré said as part of the announcement.
The Phase One IQ180 is expected to be available end of April 2011, while the Phase One IQ160 and IQ140 are expected to be available end of May.
