22-Megapixel, Medium-Format D-SLR
Shoot very high-resolution images with Mamiya’s ZD medium-format D-SLR.
In the hands of a serious photographer, the camera’s 22-megapixel
imager will produce sharp prints of 16x20 and larger at full
resolution. The image sensor’s large 36x48mm area and 12-bit A/D
converter offer freedom from noise and superior tonality. A part of the
respected Mamiya medium-format system, the ZD accepts Mamiya 645 AF
lenses. Price: TBA. Contact: Mamiya, (914) 347-3300, www.mamiya.com.
D-SLR And Zoom
Pentax’s new D-SLR, the *ist DS, offers 6-megapixel resolution in a
lightweight, compact body. According to Pentax, the new camera boasts a
high-magnification viewfinder rivaling those in 35mm cameras, making
both composition and focus confirmation easier. Pentax’s DA Zoom
18-55mm lens is designed to operate with Pentax D-SLRs, providing a
35mm-equivalent focal length range of about 28-85mm with the D-SLRs’
1.5x magnification factor. Aspheric lens elements control distortion
and aberrations while contributing to a more compact design. Estimated
Street Price: $899 (body only); $999 (body and lens). Contact: Pentax,
