April 30, 2009 — Phase One, the leader in open-platform based medium format camera systems and solutions, today announced immediate availability of the Phase One P40+ — the company’s second Sensor+ enabled digital camera back/camera system.
Like the P65+ introduced last year, this new system offers two separate image-capture modes. In normal mode, the P 40+ delivers full 40 megapixel captures for high-quality image details. And when shooting conditions demand, a photographer can push a button and instantly switch from 40 megapixels to 10 megapixels, gaining a four-fold increase in light sensitivity (ISO to 3200), and a capture rate of up to 1.8 frames per second — an ideal performance for hand-held and/or low-light conditions.
“Our second Sensor+ enabled system has been designed to deliver the fastest capture rate of any high-end medium format camera system on the market today,” said Jan H. Christiansen, marketing director for Phase One. “Our relentless innovation is inspired by the needs of quality-conscious professional photographers who seek flexible and reliable camera systems that can work as hard as they do.”
The versatility of the P40+ system is important for those who seek quality medium format 16-bit capture under a variety of working conditions. Both modes feature a 12.5 f-stop dynamic range. From high-end wedding, fashion and fine-art photographers to photojournalists, the choice of capture modes in a single camera system frees photographers to focus on the job at hand rather than worry over equipment.
Best results of Sensor+ technology are available by processing images using Phase One Capture One software version 4.8 or higher. For more information about the P40+, contact Chris Benes via email or at 310.253.9008.
