World record digital camera from Swiss manufacturer Sinar: Digital Giant with a Resolution of 22.2 Million Pixels

Feuerthalen (ots)

The Swiss manufacturer Sinar, who has been a
worldwide leader in the manufacture of professional camera systems
for more than 50 years, has produced an exclusive world record in
cooperation with Kodak: The very first digital camera with a
resolution of 22.2 million pixels!
Sinar cameras are considered to be the best for professional
studio photography. Sinar is also the only manufacturer of camera
systems who is a leading pioneer in digital photography and who has
been building its own digital cameras since 1998. At this year's
world's fair of photography Photokina in Cologne, Germany, Sinar
introduced a digital camera that is far ahead of all current cameras
in terms of resolution and quality.
With a resolution of 22.2 million pixels and an active imaging
surface of 38.8 x 50mm, the new Sinarback 54 from Sinar produces
photographs with a quality that corresponds that of a 9 x 12cm
(approximately 3 1/2 x 4 3/4 inches) color transparencies (large
format photography). The sensor for the new digital back was
developed in cooperation with Kodak and will be available exclusively
on Sinar digital cameras for at least one entire year. The best
possible photographic results are achieved by means of active
thermo-electric cooling of the sensor, so that practically no image
noise is generated and photographs with a color depth of 48 bits are
produced (65'000 gray steps per color channel). The professional
Sinar digital camera has been available since last October and it is
already being used by leading advertising- and fashion photographers.
The price amounts to approximately 26,900 Euro, which only a year ago
was the price of a professional camera with a resolution of only 6
million pixels. Additional information is available on our website
