Jeff Keller of DCRP tested thoroughly the interesting Fuji FinePix S100fs, which recall the main features: sensor superCCD wide (2 / 3 “) from 11 megapixels, a long stabilized zoom of up to 400mm, maximum sensitivity set at 3200 iso , Lcd screen by two and a half inches.

The judgement of dear old Jeff is broadly positive, but expressed concerns about value for money: the S100fs is certainly one of the best “compattone” on the market, but worth the cost of a reflex entry level (it’s on sale at around 500 euros)? E ‘true, the sensor is above average and the objective has a crazy trip, but the quality / price makes some doubts arise under a battery life not excellent, a system not very raw optimized and made manual fire a little ‘cumbersome.

Phase One announced the first system in full frame format 645 medium technology-based Sensor +.

This technology developed with SALSA Semiconductor under the patent, represents a step forward in the capture of images, because it offers more functionality and quality evolved and a longer life to protect the investment required for purchase. For the mouth of CEO, Henrik Hanson’s, Phase One intends to offer new features, transactions faster, higher quality, a wider range of colors and generally better results both in the studio is outdoors.

This system is the first to be based on the same format 645 film and provides an area greater than 20% compared to the other sensors 39 or 50 megapixels that use the format 48mm x 36mm with a resolution of 60.5 megapixels, 8984 x 6732 pixels, produces files 8-bit RGB from 180 Mb.
