Phase One is the only company which makes both a medium format and a large format digital back. Here is Nicholas on the campus of his university in Guatemala photographing model Michele, one of the 15 employees of FLAAR international office there. Since portrait photography is a major market, for the Leaf Valeo 22 we are testing it for portrait and fashion photography. Leaf did not make the Aptus available for testing, so I don’t know whether the Aptus has the same failure rate for its wireless technology. Wireless image transfer was offered by the Leaf Valeo but it often stuttered (the wireless on the Leaf Valeo often did not function). Phase One is now emphasizing wireless connections. At present some animals move too quickly for a normal digital camera to capture them, due to the delaying aspects of a normal digital camera. It sounds like this sensor may be ideal for natural photography, especially of birds. The speed is mainly in associated hardware and software, so we can assume the chip itself can handle the situation. Does this mean you can do sports photography with medium format digital quality? Move over Canon.
The third new Phase One back, the P 21, is for speedy shooting: claimed to be 60 frames per second. So if you have a Mamiya 645 AFD, Hasselblad H1, or Contax 645, you can now dream and drool over the Phase One P 45 or P 30. The new Phase One P 45 will give owners of the now wienie 16.7 megapixel Canon EOS 1Ds Mark II the rude reminder that “size does matter.” The P 45 offers a 39 megapixel back. Phase One P45 39 megapixels, Phase One P 30 31 megapixels.
