Phase One's P 45 Digital Back Available on the Market

Phase One has announced today that it has started to ship its highest quality digital camera back, the P 45.

The P 45, the world's only digital camera with a 39 Mega Pixel sensor, captures images that are sharper and more detailed than ever before.

Offering unsurpassed image quality, the P 45 is the ultimate in medium and large format digital photography equipment.

P 45 captures 35 frames per minute and writes with speeds of up to 20 MB per second. Whether shooting for giant billboards or high-end fashion magazines, the P 45's 117 MB per file size capabilities provides industry leading image quality.

Using Phase One's Capture One software with the P 45 enables professional commercial photographers to capture, adjust, prepare for print and archive perfect images in mere minutes.

The P 45 digital camera back also includes Phase One's revolutionary secure storage system (3S) technology. The 3S technology eliminates the risk of writing to damaged storage media by first checking the validity on every compact flash storage card inserted in the camera back.

"Today is a landmark in digital photography. The availability of the P 45 throws off many technical limitations experienced by professional photographers. Photographers using the P 45 will achieve exceptional image quality never before possible in professional photography. They will also spend less time in post-production and can focus more on their craft and creativity," Henrik Håkonsson, CEO of Phase One said.
