Mamiya ZD Digital Camera

Mamiya

The Mamiya ZD digital camera was designed from its inception to satisfy the demanding professional?s need for a high quality, portable and affordable medium format digital camera. Its built-in 22 Mega Pixel 36mm x 48mm Dalsa CCD image sensor is 2 times the size of full 35mm D-SLR sensors and 3 times the size of standard D-SLR sensors.

Influenced by the popular Mamiya 645AFD, the Mamiya ZD digital camera body incorporates the 645AF lens mount. Now Mamiya 645AFD shooters can continue to enjoy the image quality that only Mamiya world-class AF lenses can offer directly on the new Mamiya ZD digital camera. With its larger sensor, nearly 6 x 4.5 cm, wide angle and telephoto lenses perform as they were designed.

The Mamiya ZD digital camera sets a new standard for high resolution, sharp images with rich smooth tones combined with the latest in advanced features, simple but powerful imaging software and light weight design.

Mamiya, the quality and reliability that earned the respect and confidence of professional photographers yesterday, now offers the future of high quality imaging in a powerful, portable and affordable package just for you.

FEATURES: 22 Mega Pixel CCD
The 36mm x 48mm Dalsa CCD imaging sensor contains 22 million active pixels (total 4008h x 5344v). The 14 bit A/D (Analog to Digital) conversion records color information as 12-bit per color channel, providing exceptional true-to-life color accuracy.
ASIC (Application Specific Integrated Circuit)
Data transfer from the Dalsa CCD sensor is processed in real- time with its exclusively designed Application Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC). The advantage to the photographer is that image data captured from the sensor is optimized for fast performance. With a frame capture rate of 1.5 fps, it?s the fastest 22 Mega pixel digital Medium format camera in the industry.
