100MP CMOS by Sony aka the Phase One XF100
- Thread starter Halfrack
- Start date
For those who say "touch screens are unprofessional", Phase One disagrees. Unless this camera is only for hipster posers who buy $$$ gear to impress.

I have always noted the fashions that sweep the industry and I predicted the 16bit color would be the next fixation.
Many disagreed with me as they felt the difference was invisible and costly to implement.
I still think the DR fixation has not spent itself. I predict we will see ever more dramatic claims of Dr. This one is pretty choice.

Not sure what you mean about naysayers...
I think there's been little disagreement that high MP, better low ISO DR and color depth are great for a dedicated landscape camera, or possibly a studio camera. (Although studio work allows the photographer complete control of the light, so DR is much less important). I can't imagine this camera would be very useful for sports, BIF, events, etc. And you'd better have a quad-GPU system if you don't want to watch grass grow while processing.

I wonder just how "joint" it is in terms of being exclusive to Phase One?
Beyond Hassleblad that seems like it might actually be far enough beyond FF performance to get other manufacturers interested in MF. Its expensive but then again Pentax was able to sell the smaller Sony CMOS at a fraction of the price of the digital backs.
