Telstra has revealed the addition of almost one million new mobile services in the six months to December 2011, but Sensis revenues plummeted 24 percent in 12 months.
We know it's not all about the megapixels, stooopid. But when a digital camera is announced that has 56 of them, well it would be rude not to sit up and take notice...
When your mobile phone comes complete with a five megapixel camera
built in, and even relatively low-budget digital cameras have twice as
much as that, you have to do something either very small or very big to
get noticed in the world of photographic hardware these days.
Leaf opted for the latter. The very big
indeed option, actually. How does a medium format camera system
sporting a whopping 56 megapixels grab you? By the short and curlies,
like it grabbed me I would imagine.
The Leaf AFi 10 will sport a 56mm x 36mm 'True Wide Frame' digital
imaging sensor with a 56 megapixel capability across the entire 6 x 6
sensor width. What's more, the TWF sensor technology in the camera back
is also compatible with over 80 large-format cameras.
Using the newly developed 'Verto' technology, Leaf promises that the
TWF sensor will be able to rotate internally for both landscape and
portrait shots without physically turning the camera body. It just
takes a single finger to flip the sensor from one orientation to
another.
Leaf claims to have introduced the
world's first digital camera back in 1992. It can now claim the most
megapixels as well, at least for the time being.
"This latest announcement demonstrates the Leaf commitment to
developing complete camera systems that adapt to the needs and habits
of professional photographers”, said Dov Kalinski, General Manager of
Leaf. “With the new internally rotating ‘True Wide Frame’ 56 millimeter
sensor, this new AFi system is our most flexible ever."
The full specs of that Leaf AFi 10 sensor are:
CCD Size 56mm x 36mm
Pixel Size 6 x 6
Resolution 56MP
Active Pixels 9288 x 6000
Capture Time 1 frame/sec
Light Sensitivity (ISO) 50-800
Oh, and if I have to mention the price then you probably cannot afford
it. When the camera goes on sale at the end of the year it will cost
USD $43,675 (AUD $47,000)...
