Mamiya's DL28 digital camera system is slightly cheaper than you'd think


We know you want a pro-friendly medium format digital camera -- so do we -- but they're awfully expensive, aren't they? You might have to think about dropping as much as $30,000 one of these babies if you're the discerning type, but Mamiya is trying to convince you that you can save a few thousand dollars and still get results. Enter the DL28 digital camera system, which combines the body of the well-established 645 with Leaf's Aptus-II 6 digital back. It's got 16-bit capture, a 12-stop dynamic range, an ISO range of 50 - 800, and a fancy 3.5-inch touch screen at price of $15,000, appropriate for cash-strapped professionals and financially comfortable hobbyists -- unless Nikon has something to say about it.

Leaf rolls out wide frame AFi 10 camera system


It looks like those that found Phase One's 60-megapixel P65+ camera a bit too much for them but Hasselblad's 50-megapixel H3DII-50 somehow lacking may now finally have the answer they've been looking for, as Leaf has just introduced its new 56-megapixel AFi 10 camera system. This one's main selling point is its 56mm true wide frame sensor that Leaf designed with DALSA, which promises to "take you to the edge of the medium-format frame." Apart from that, you can expect a one frame per second capture time, exposure times up to a minute, light sensitivity from ISO 50 to 800 and, of course, some 171MB file sizes to impress your friends with. No word on a price and, quite frankly, we're a little hesitant to ask.

Leaf Aptus 75S, 65S and 54S debut

Leaf recently announced its newest digital back cameras, the Leaf AFi S-series -- which includes three models, the 75S, 65S and 54S. These new cams range from a 22 to 33 megapixel resolution, shoot at speeds from 0.8 seconds per frame (up to 75 frames per minute), have an unlimited burst depth, bring a "new, lossless image-compression engine," and pack FireWire 800 and up to 800 ISO sensitivity. Further, the camera has a good-sized 6 x 7 cm viewing screen on the rear panel. However, despite all the fanfare for this new series, we don't have the info we really want -- how much it'll cost (if you have to ask, you can't afford it) and how soon we can get one (does it really matter?).
